Beautiful art work there. Thanks for sharing. Hope you win!

Wanted to note that Skip originally made request for this item in the Pattern Requests area of the forum. Russell, Birchbark, created it and shared it in that thread and it can be found here: http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/topic/21433-something-new/ Thanks for Identifying the actual item as being from the Elder Scrolls video game Skyrim. I know that my college age son has that game - but - that was the extent of my knowledge. I will download both and maybe make him something for Christmas if I get the chance. Might make me cool for knowing too. Thanks Skip for sharing your cut project and Russell for adding the Quest Marker file here as well.

Great start there Bobby. Like you, I like Snoopy. We had a dog that looked like Snoopy when I was a very little girl. We of course named him Snoopy. I am rather partial to that Big Orange T sled as well. Those other two you show - not so much. But I realize that you have to appeal to all kinds. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice Jerry. Always good to have a spot for finding the keys. (Works too, IF people put them there. )

Hey Denny, I think Rolf is a big Hawk advocate. Maybe pm him and get some insight if you need to know "quickly".

Thanks for sharing.

it looks good Casey. Always good to have friends who can give you scraps for your hobby! Look forward to seeing what else you might do with it. Thanks for sharing.

Interesting isn't it what you can do with two simple words and a scroll saw. Thanks for sharing.

Another great project you have done there Rob. I have seen that one and downloaded the pattern for the "someday" pile. Need to get better with lettering first I am afraid!

Everything looks very nice. Thanks for sharing.

Great job on it. Looks very nice. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice. I can see why your wife wanted one. Thanks for sharing.

That looks like a great setup for you and like you said, its something you can easily change around. Looks like you are getting the shop area set up for you - how's the rest of the house move coming?

Excellent work taking a "impressionist" style painting and creating a pattern from it and then recreating it with wood and a scroll saw. In the end, its what you like and you wanted that really matters. That is what true artist come to understand. Not everyone likes everything that others do - and that's okay. As long as we create what we wanted to do then that is all that really matters. Its our "soul" that we are feeding with our work. Sometimes the bonus is that others love it as well. Thanks so much for sharing.

Please pass on my thanks to him for his 30 years of service to our country and the world with the Seals. Not an easy task I am sure. You have done a wonderful gift for him to commemorate his retirement. Excellent job on it. thanks for sharing.

Fish, I am sure that your wife was over the moon with the piece and the "meaning" you have given to it with your marriage. You did an outstanding job on the it. Thanks for sharing the photo and the "meaning" for us.

I agree, beautiful work by a talented artist. Thanks for sharing your photo. I love all the intricate cross designs that I see.

Rockytime - you can find it (and other free patterns) here on this site: http://fssp-arpop.blogspot.com/search/label/Signs%2FWord%20Art Jerry - great job on cutting that out. I saw that pattern the other day - and thought problem was - I couldn't give it to the people who "needed" it. Might try it some day once I get more comfortable trying to cut letters out.

Beautiful work of art that the recipients will love. I just had a niece get married - perhaps I will try something similar for their Christmas gift. However, lettering like this scares me to be truthful! I will get there perhaps in time. So glad you are feeling up to working at your saw. Please, in the future - do not tell us when someone is going to "paint" something as beautiful as this. Leave us to think of it showing off its wood grain!

I agree with everyone - time well spent. Hope you got some sleep now. Glad your daughter had a good show. I too like the Elephant rocker. Thanks for sharing.

Crosses with Christ on them would be normal for the USA I believe. I think its the cutout that is different and more "unique" as it is not as "detailed" perhaps as many we see here. Plus the crosses in general we have here would be more straight lines where these do not appear to be but have some "curve" to them. They are unique and different from most of what we have seen I would think. They are beautiful work and I love the wood grains in them. I know many who would love these as gifts. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful work all around. Well worth the cost of the board (and then some ) I love the bowls, and the word art is fantastic. I admire the skills of those of you who can cut that! Thanks for sharing your photos.

Beautiful cutting. I too just love this pattern and one day will get one cut (I hope.) They are just works of art that to me speak volumes about the meaning to the holiday season. Thanks for sharing your photo.

Dick, as you say - its only by trying new things and pushing our personal "envelopes" do we find new and different ways of doing things which leads to creative outlets that might not have been found without doing it. Good to see you are walking the walk. I need to push myself to do more of that. Great looking project overall. As you can see here - what one person likes - another may or may not. Glitter is one of those things over the years that I have learned some people love - others not so much. My daughter was never a "glitz and glam" girl so I quickly learned never to make her anything that glittered. Two nieces are big "glitz and glam" girls and the more it glitters the better they like it. Most men I have found don't like the glitter which I think is shown by the comments here. I like the orange "halloween" theme that you were going for but think it may not look as good with the red glitter and as you and others have concluded, perhaps some of the issue is that the frame may be a little too small. I am not sure if I like the additions onto the edges of the frame or not. To me, they seem to distract some from the actual cutting its self the skull. One idea might be to cut them into the wood frame and then add some black behind them that way. In my eye at least, they would then not "pop" so much off the frame but be an enhancement to the frame. But, as others have noted - what appeals to one - may not to the masses so if I were creating to sell, I would try several different versions and see which one was the better seller. However, again - that can vary depending upon the "audience" where you are - switch venues and that too can change. Thanks for sharing.

Now that's a different look for sure. Thanks for explaining how you added the lights and created the "box". Great job all around. thanks for sharing.
