Title: Combination Schwibbogen
Post by: Chase on August 25, 2010, 01:58:17 pm
Combination Schwibbogen

OK folks, as promised here is Nativity III.  This is a combination of scrolling and woodcarving in a schwibbogen.  It measures about 11 x 11.  Although the purest may not call it a schwibbogen (not an arch) I don?t know what else to call it.

I designed the project from a V. Arnold pattern that was in one of the scrolling mags.  The woodcarving was a C?mas ornament by Fontani.  Interestingly, this is the 2d schwib I have designed from the same set of patterns.  The other one was called Nativity IV and it was posted with my 12 Days project.  (see attachement)

You will see 2 versions of Nativity III.  I experimented with 2 different lighting variations.  On the left is a night light bulb and on the right are two mini-lights run by a transformer.  Pls let me know which one you like best.

As always, comments (both kinds) are welcome.

Whadayathink?

Chase it is a schwibbogen as I see it, some of the patterns in my new books(just arrived) are not arches but there's a christmas tree form and a bell form in one of them.
They all look very nice. The lighted one on the left does it for me.
Thanks for sharing.
David.

Chase mate as usual very nice.
As I sea it they are Schwibbogen/Lichterbogen. or English Lighted Arches.

The one with the single bulb is better illuminated then the double bulbs.
