Title: Hello- love the patterns but I don't use a saw.....
Post by: neldaj on November 15, 2011, 07:52:55 pm

I use an electraonic paper cutter (the Silhouette SD and now the Zing). Your patterns are easily adapted to paper crafting!! Love them.
Here is one project that I have made so far (from here http://www.stevedgood.com/candleholder.pdf):

And here is another (yeah, blush, I changed it a little, adapted from this http://www.stevedgood.com/christmasplate.pdf). This was cut from white contact paper and adhered to a charger plate. I use Make-the-Cut software, which is an awesome program.

They are pretty but electronic paper cutters is like using a lazer guided by a computer to cut the wood, you loose the hands on satisfaction of doing the hard part for yourself it takes skill.
Not for this old duffer!
Different strokes for different folks.
Just my opinion.

Maybe if you hang around, you'll get bitten by the bug and try it for yourself.

I have to second Gabby - we are handcrafter.

you should get a saw! You'll see how much fun it is to work in the wood shop.

Hi Neldja,

    Very Beautiful.  I am a multi-medium crafter and I also will take a pattern and adjust it to whatever medium I am working in.  I scrollsaw and I also do stained glass.  Please continue to share your work, I love seeing what others create.  It amazing what one sees in a pattern someone sees something different.  Thanks for sharing.

Welcome from St. Louis, MO, USA...

Whatever medium you choose is fine but WE like to make a mess with sawdust!

We are happy to have any 'crafter' that can show us how the other side works...
