Second try at posting this. I have finally finished except for the oil bath, I stained the wolf using diluted acrylic black paint I was trying to get a charcoal gray look and I think I came pretty close, and I like that the grain shows through the backer is left natural this is all done on 1/4" BB plywood.
Thanks again MM.
I plan to post a bio of the artist later in the gallery Laurie bought the pattern to make into a quilt square but ran into problems and scrapped that idea, she's a bit bummed since she liked the pattern as did I, and it looks like I'll be the only one using it.
Ol' Gabby is making sawdust again, Yeeee Hawwwww
Enjoy!

She calls me her silver tongued devil, I know how to sweet talk her. 8)
Richard I'll have to look it up, it's a quilting pattern and probably not too expensive.
The pattern in the package is a bit large and I copied the photo from the small picture included on the outside of the package, then edited it with Paint.NET to make a pattern from that just so I wasn't using a lot of ink and kept it sized to fit an 8.5 by 11" paper.
I have it hanging in my restroom as we don't have a lot of wall space left over, as it is I had to take down the duck that was hanging there.
1500' cabin only has just so much room. :)

Interesting pattern Gabby. If okay to do so, would you mind sharing that pattern? I am not sure on the legal part, but maybe someone here would have an idea if a modified purchased pattern could be shared.
Thanks for sharing this one.

I think the situation is such that I can use the pattern as much as I want since I or my wife paid for our copy, but passing it along would be illegal. Infringing on the copy rights.
Sorry,
Gabby

Understand Gabby. No worries. Keep up the fine work.

I'll try Al it's been a strange summer here rainy and cool / cold in June keeps me from working in the carport where I'm set up. On those nice days as usual they are "Honey Do" days if you know what I mean. ;D.
I'm just hoping to get some more cutting done before winter shuts me down again.
