    I have a pattern almost near the double of that dreamcatcher. I've done it with my router but your dreamcatcher is inspirational.

    Must admit I never knew you could have a 'laser' on a drill press... I just point the bit where I want it to cut and pull down. LOL, I just have a 'box' to make it easier for me to use as it brings my wood closer to the drill bit. I'm old what can I say.

    I agree with @ike, that's the best way, in my opinion, to go but as has been said I suppose it depends on where in the world you are and what you have at your disposal. I've used ¼" ply before now for 'portrait' style work and it's turned out fine. These 3 were done with ¼" I too use a cheap ply painted black for a backer. Or you can make a frame. Here are the three types of 'frame' I use. 1) with the 'backer' bigger than cutting, 2) Frame incorporated into cutting 3) Glued onto a large backer and then framed with another wood.

    Great Idea !! I once put a £50 note in a glass frame with the title 'In Emergency Break Glass' and gave it to my God daughter for her 18th.

    I've done this pattern before and I think you made a brilliant job of that and your daughter would be thrilled with it. Great cutting !!!

    Must admit I tried this pattern when my saw was out of action, but seeing yours I think I may have to try it on my saw. I did this one with my router but it pales into insignificance compared to a 'good' cut piece..

    Gorgeous !!!

    I think it's beautiful and I'm sure your friends will too..

    Nice cutting.. I think the one on the left with just the eyes would make a great stand alone piece too. ..

    Beautiful !

    Thank You all for your encouragement, it means a lot !! After finishing it last night I thought my straight lines could have been straighter, my curves could have been neater and the frame didn't fit quite properly so I filled the gaps and to me they were glaringly obvious, however, I've had a sleep since last night and this morning it looks a lot better I really appreciate all your kind comments.
