Title: Lucky Last
Post by: wombatie on December 17, 2012, 12:44:23 am

Lucky last for the year.  First I would like to thank Old Crow DonR for his help with these. Don did the pattern of the boy and I did the pattern of the girl but Don looked it over for me and that was a great help.  Thanks Don.
I actually stack cut 4 which is a first for me and I am happy to say that no one lost an eye this time. LOL  The wood is 3mm Hoop Pine marine ply and the frame came from a $2 & More shop and cost about $5.00.   Hope you like it.

Great job on that one Marg.  I like the contrast between the two and the cutting looks very sharp.  Thanks for sharing with us.

Awww now that is cute as can be.  Pattern and sawing made it so.

Eyes and Portraits?!?!?!?  I have learned to START with the area that includes the eyes and then TAPE over them top and bottom!!!

You did very well!
I know how many "Hail Mary" moments portraits can give you so I feel qualified to say that these are very well done!

I agree with GB on the eyes!  The very first one I attempted I found myself picking up John Lennon's eye off the floor just as I was about finished with the project.  A little dab of wood glue and he had immediate eye surgery.

Now, when I do a portrait I make a few "easy cuts" just to get the feel of the wood and get my groove on.  Then I go right for the eye's so if really mess it up, I don't have a lot of time invested.  That gives me a little piece of mind.

Lookiing at these eyes, they must have been very fragile to do.  Again, Good Job!!!!

Thanks guys, I appreciate all the fantastic comments.  I love doing portraits, if I make a pattern it takes me ages because I use a black marker and liquid paper that's why I never volunteer to make patterns for people. By the time I''ve made one they''ve cut someone else's and moved on to the next project. Lol  I have been cutting portraits since 2000 and this is the first time I managed to loose an eye but I also managed to mingle it so it was not fixable, Lol I guess there is a first time for everything.  Thanks again
