Thanks, Dave. Making the pattern for this one took a lot of "clean-up", because the edges are kinda fuzzy on the original painting.

I wasn't lecturing the group. Just expressing my frustration with the archaic views regarding simple, innocent, natural ART. It must be me...I just don't get it.

Again, I say, I will NOT post it. But I thought that we were all adults here, and that this site is about our ART. I really fail to see how Americans, in general, have such a warped perception about the human body. We all have one. How is it pornography for anyone to see the human form presented in its finest? I see the human body as beautiful, natural, even incredible. I cannot understand the objection to something that we all share. I just don't get it. The picture I did is just a simple, beautiful body. There is no "sex". It's just a beautiful subject that I view as art. Simple....? Smack me if I'm wrong.

The consensus here seems to be a resounding NO ! So I will not post it. If anyone really wants to see it, you can message me, and I'll send it to you. It is not anything pornographic. It is art. It is my interpretation of something I find beautiful. It is nothing more "offensive" than you would see on many statues on public display in our museums.

Travis, I sent you a copy of it in a message.

I have been using the Pegas spiral 2/0 almost exclusively for several months. Very happy with the performance.

I have been wanting to cut a "tasteful" nude picture, and I finally found one that is both beautiful and suitable. I think I nailed it with this one. I want to know if there is any objection to me posting it here. I have removed the "offensive" portion of the actual cutting, so that it might be allowed. Please let me know if you want it posted.

I love it. Great job!
-
Excellent. One of my favorite subjects for cutting. Yours looks great.

This was a labor of love. This bridge is iconic in my home city, Sacramento. 11x14" Baltic Birch 1/8" ply. Pegas 2/0 Spiral Blades. I stack cut two, and went through LOTS of these fragile blades, but it was worth it. No stain of varnish yet.

Awesome cut of an awesome band. Thank you for sharing it.

Old west art

Hi from northern CA. If you get into scrolling, you're gonna love this group. Very supportive, encouraging, and above-all, friendly. I have a DeWalt, too, and I love it.
-
I would like to publish my patterns, someday. I don't know what process is necessary to get published.
-
Yes, Len. I'm kind of a pattern snob...I only want to cut my own. Making the pattern is the most satisfying part of the process for me.
-
Just finished cutting this. World War II fighter plane.
-
Thanks for the comment. I use a Pegas 2/0 Spiral. I really love that blade.
-
Yes it does! I'd rather be doing just about anything else than dentistry. I'm soooo glad to be out of that.
-
This one took a lot of work. Pattern design was difficult and LOTS of cuts. Glad it done. 11"x14" Baltic Birch Ply

I have reached out to the photographer. She knows that I will not profit from her work without her permission and compensation to her.
-
I just cut this. I made the pattern from a photograph by Himani Smeaton.
-
Very cool! Makes me want to give it a try.
-
I made the pattern for this cutting from a painting by James Mann.

Thank you all for your comments.Your input is what keeps me striving to create. I searched a lot to find a photo that captured the greatness of Johnny Cash. This photo was, by far, the best. However, it became very problematic that the background was all black. I spent a lot of time doing trial-and-error pattern development before I got this one just the way I wanted it.
