    OK...I'll take your good comments and give it some more tries....but not for a while. I need a successful outcome on my next few projects just to get me back in the groove. This one was very frustrating. I think the paper used to print the photo was junk. Also, using ModPodge was the wrong choice. Oh well....live and learn.

    The new attempt was a total failure. Paper layers separated again. Not gonna try this again. I'll stick to serious scrolling. I thought I could make a cute, quick toy for my grandson, and it turned into a complete nightmare. Never again!

    Thanks everyone. I'm off to try your suggestions. I'll let you know how it goes.

    I would do that, Dan, but I am cutting letters and I have to get the size and spacing just right.

    Thanks, MrsN. Both recommendations make perfect sense. I'll try them both today.

    I need help with a scrolling project that I tried for the first time. I came up with this idea myself, but I'm sure it has been done before with much better success than I had. I tried to make a "jigsaw puzzle" for my grandson using a photograph of his family. Using the decoupage method, I printed the photo on a laser printer, then glued it to a 1/2" thick plywood sheet using ModPodge for glue. Then I covered the photo surface with two coats of the ModPodge. I covered the entire surface with Frog Tape, then glued my puzzle pattern on and began cutting. When I tried to remove the pattern and Frog Tape, it pulled the photograph paper layers apart and ruined the project. So...does anyone know a better way to attach and protect the photo on the backing wood so that it won't separate?

    This is a beautiful story on so many levels. What a wonderful way to start my day...reading about this. Thank you so much for sharing.

    I'm just learning to create my own patterns and cut them. It's very satisfying to see a photo become immortalized in wood.

    I'm close by in Folsom, CA...just east of Sacramento.

    Hi All. I'm Kris, and I've been doing scroll saw art work for many years. Started out doing intarsia, but recently I'm doing all portraits and pictures. I have done a few family members portraits and a few famous people. Currently working on Joe Montana. I'm looking forward to exploring all that this group has to offer. It looks like a great site.
