Title: Nutcracker Pattern request
Post by: Dakota Saw Dust on December 13, 2013, 10:54:30 pm

Both my granddaughters were in a local production of "The nutcracker" This ballet is tops on my list & I would like make them a cutting.  Anyone have any ideas about where to find a pattern?  Thanks in advance  Brian

I read the word 'Nutcracker' ballet and searched for the image. Let me try again.

See how this looks. You could cut this around the outer edge of the nutcracker to make it free-standing, or as a plaque.

Thanks Ray  I think I'll cut it out of some 1/8" B/B birch and add the year & "Nutcracker" copy at the bottom. Still wondering about adding a little color to the fellow.  Will post a "brag" when I'm finished.  Again thanks  - Brian

I've done some cuttings with watercolor paint highlights. It is kind of transparent - goes on like a color stain and looks a little antique. I'll watch for your posting of the finished project.
