these are cute. I have an idea for the center. Here is a picture of an experimental catus.

Harry Chapin was a good folk singer.
-
Yep I can sing along with all those songs. "I've got a name" is another song. An addition scrolling piece can be his guitar. Maybe a backing?

I use meile in my house. It has great suction and does great on hardwood floors. The bags are expensive. The noise is much lower than other vacuums we had. If you use this, I would do a dust cyclone canister between saw and vacuum. Save alot of cost on bags. My wife would not let me use this in garage. So I have shop vacs. Me. Mark E.

That is great that you used Rescue wood. Good looking barn.

Thanks for the video. You make it look easy.

Wow. sorry for the mis naming. I do not know how I did that. Me. Mark

Is the difference between artist and craftsman the ability to draw freehand? I have been paid to do drafting with templates and writing tools that scale lettering. Iso drawing also require a 3d thinking. Some of my sketches was just as good as iso drawings. The artists were using air brushes and creating marketing pictures. Is artistry learning and trying new things? New ideas to the industry or just new to the individual might generate the term artist or innovator. Is artists just doing non-traditional crafts? These might be good discussion questions. Les, to me your flowers have many aspects of artistry. Abstract outlines of flowers, layers of wood and layers of paint. A interesting method of creating a border. The craftsmenship of scrolling allowed you to envision and try this experiment. I applaud you for being innovative, artsy and crafty. Me. Mark

'Blue Tits on Hawthorn' designed by Fiona Kingdon
preprius replied to Frank Pellow's topic in Bragging Rights
really nice details. It seems like a bird flew away the first picture to the 3rd picture shows 1 less bird. oh 3cm is pretty thick no wonder it took a while. -
Great Idea. I see this village is also about exchanging ideas. Not just "scrolling". But there are some pros (pun intented) that do both exhange ideas and perform great crafting.

Nice upgrade. Think patriotism out weighs the think sky concept.

New CNC scroll saw system For the Pegas Saws
preprius replied to rustynail's topic in General Scroll Sawing
He might need some advice on auto tool insertion and clamping torque. How about backup techniques for blade turning. -
How do you professionals do this? It would take me 60 hours to do that. That presentation is great. It can be givin out as a trophy.
-
Wow. 2 widths of ribbon (and 2 layers purple heart?), beeaautiful (walnut?) . what did you use to cut the ribbon? blade number type? Here I go again , lots of questions. Very good. Inspiring.

Ok here is my other idea that is a little bit easier. But might not look good. Since the wood chips kinda look crystals, have different colors of stains to enhance the particle / chips shapes. Only do the large ones. Then use the honey stain over everything. Maybe high gloss vs satin on big chunks might add a frost crystal effect. Oh when I did a leather project that industry had stamps for symbols including indian southwest symbols. Before I made the model train, I made a belt with that train loco embossed stamped on leather.

How about self framing designs concepts? Sheila Landry's website shows a few.
-
how about scrolling indian symbols in frame?
-
I just traced a leaf that blew in my front yard. It is the same basic shape as yours. Gotta capture nature when it is available. Scanned my sketch for pre fall season.
-
nice idea using burning techniques for viens and stems.
-
I forgot to order the tubes. So I had to solve this using stuff around the house. Drinking straws. Scotch tape. Labels from Flying Dutchman. Office stapler. Small neodynium magnets.

Ooooh. Space based theme.

I am not an expert. So take my observations as my way of my learning. I tap and zoom into the picture and I can see the gold hilights on the frame on the beads. This takes a lot of patience and steady hands. The feather texture i can see the carvings around the edge of the head. This seams like the pet bird I had. So you caught the texture pretty well. The dark feathers on chest seem to be the hardest. I was thinking how would I capture this. I have no clue. Now that I answered my question, I zoomed out and looked at the whole scene. I seems like you captured pretty good. The shoulders do have contours and that enhances the portrait really well. Maybe the background wood could be lightly blue washed for getting the viewer to think sky. The black backing is the best to capture the 2 tone dark feather areas. It also captures the twisting of the white neck feathers. I like like it.
