    My daughter coaches synchronized swimming. I did these ornaments for her team. Glittery paint in the background and "diamonds" bling around the edge.

    Very nice cutting. Would it be easier if the wood were thicker? That is on my list to cut as well, after another 7 layer mandala!

    That is amazing work. Thanks for showing.

    I was reading a newsletter from another source that was talking about organizing the workshop in a weekend. I stopped reading it after the first paragraph where is said - throw out any piece of wood 1 foot or shorter!!! Then I thought, I should find someone who is following those rules!!!

    Nice work. I also like the cats, however I have a sheet of dinosaurs to cut for the grandson.

    It is originally a Steve Good pattern. I then "cut and pasted" the heart and name on the pattern. I don't know how to use inkscape, to I used MSword and cut and taped the pattern together!! lol

    My daughter's best friend had to put her pet bunny down the other day. I had posted a photo in the hopes of having a pattern made but it was to dark. This is what I came up with. I hope she likes it. I know my daughter certainly did. This is solid cherry wood cut with Pegas mg #3.

    I have used acrylic paints and the Unicorn Spit stains. Depends on the project that I am doing. On one project I wanted just a hint of colour so I used a pencil crayon and lightly coloured the piece then took an emory board to blend it all together. I was quite pleased with the effect.

    Love the idea of a jewel in the middle. We are expecting our granddaughter in May and my daughter is all over fairies - guess the theme of the room. I plan to cut a few of those for sun catchers. Have already cut the Once Upon a Time pattern from Steve to turn into a light. That I still have to paint!

    I used a product called Unicorn Spit. There was a write up in the Scrollsaw magazine a year or so ago. Found them at a local craft supply house here in Winnipeg. I was sooo excited to find them!!

    Thanks. These were stack cut, 4 layers of 1/8" bb ply. Took about 15 hours of cutting. The coloured ones took about 2 hours to stain. It was tough getting all the little sides done. I tried not to get too much on the back so there would be raw wood to glue to the next layer.

    And as much as I hate the way credit card companies handle the exchange rate, sometimes the prices and shipping are better than Bearwoods.
  15. barb.j.enders
    I understand that for International shipping but I hate it when a Canadian company charges high rates for shipping in Canada. One of the reasons I hesitate to order from Bearwoods.

    Here is the link to the site on Etsy. It looks like they are off line right now. https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/apswoodshop?ref=ks_wide

    Here is info from Wikipedia: A mandala (Sanskrit: मण्डल, romanized: maṇḍala, lit. 'circle', [ˈmɐɳɖɐlɐ]) is a geometric configuration of symbols. In various spiritual traditions, mandalas may be employed for focusing attention of practitioners and adepts, as a spiritual guidance tool, for establishing a sacred space and as an aid to meditation and trance induction. In the Eastern religions of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Shintoism it is used as a map representing deities, or specially in the case of Shintoism, paradises, kami or actual shrines.[1][2] In New Age, the mandala is a diagram, chart or geometric pattern that represents the cosmos metaphysically or symbolically; a time-microcosm of the universe, but it originally meant to represent wholeness and a model for the organizational structure of life itself, a cosmic diagram that shows the relation to the infinite and the world that extends beyond and within various minds & bodies.

    Ike, thanks for the kind words. Yes, I am proud of them.

    If you are stack cutting and need the small drill bit for the hole, how do you drill them. When I was looking the length of the drill bit is too short!

    If I were in the states, I would look into purchasing the item for you and then shipping it, but I am not in the States. Sorry.

    Have you tried doing a "google" search for free line art elements?
  22. barb.j.enders
    I used a hair dryer to warm the next joint in the hose, pushed it on to the machine. I believe Steve Good did a demo on this.
  23. barb.j.enders
    At this point, taking up space!!! lol. I have them set up as wall art. There is a saw tooth hanger on the back.
  24. barb.j.enders
