  1. I think you did a great job. My daughters can pick colors to go together that in my mind will totally clash and they look beautiful together. I think a certain amount of it is inborn.
  2. This pond was almost magical in my memory. I was a teenager and I'd fish there till dark and the water would get as still as glass when the sun went down. There was a beaver hut like this one that stood about 3 feet above the water at one end of the pond and at dusk the bass would swirl around it and their fins would actually stick out of the water like shark fins. I guess minnows were coming out from around the sticks in the hut to eat and the bass were there to eat them. I had a trolling motor that I ran with the battery from my car so I had to conserve enough charge to crank the car when I left. Blessed time of my younger years!
  3. The portraits do get monotonous. Every time I think I'll move on to something different someone else comes to mind.
  4. Great job! I love beavers. I used to fish in a pond with lots of them and they’d slap the water with their tails right next to my boat and make me jump. Love how you did the textures plus the wood grain is awesome.
  5. I know what you mean. I always start with the eyes when making a pattern and many times never got past them.
  6. Very nice work! I see no flaws but when I look at my things after posting, the zoomed images always show up flaws I didn’t notice. Then when I look at it it’s the first thing I notice.
  7. Thanks. It was fun to cut.
  8. Sort of a whimsical portrait of Frodo Baggins. About 6” X 7”. Very fun relaxing cut, except maybe the eyes.
  9. Great job cutting and I love the pattern, how it's all sandwiched in between the larger HOME.
  10. I think you're doing great. You'll be amazed how many things you'll learn to do intuitively without even meaning to, over time.
  11. Great job! I've been wanting to cut that.
  12. Yikes! Great job on a daunting piece of work.
  13. Cool stuff Barb. Have a fun, safe trip!
  14. Good job! Michael Jr. will be happy.
  15. Nice job Danny!
  16. Love the detail Ron! Very cool toys but just one sitting on a mantle or bookshelf would be great too.
  17. Thanks so much Paul. I spent several days on both of these patterns. I'm slow as molasses in wintertime. Funny, I've always liked Jimmy's music but wasn't sure I could pick his face out of a lineup. After he died I realized how much I love him so I've been listening to lots of his music and even checked out a book by him from the library today. Shame when someone has to die for you to know how much you appreciate them. Thank you again. I appreciate it!!!
  18. They are both beautiful! Your cutting is spot on. The colors all work great together. Photography is stellar too. Excellent!!!
  19. Sweet!
  20. Jimmy, young and old. Left us a treasure chest of great music!
  21. Nice job Rodney!
  22. Beautifully done!
  23. Love that! Great Halloween decoration too! Wish I hadn't let my subscription lapse.
