Thanks!  Cant wait to hear what he thinks of it

Pattern Requests. / Picture of my Boss I would like to convert to a pattern

« on: February 23, 2017, 02:26:10 am »

I have a picture of my boss that I would like to convert into a pattern and also use it on his website as an Icon/logo.   He likes to sing Elvis music and is pretty good at it.

So Ray,   

Are you counting us pattern needy scrollers as deductions or dependents??     

Either way we're good with that and will sign off on it!

Thanks again!

The roses were a must.

Even in his 80's my uncle kept a rose garden and every day he would go out and cut a rose for her.  She loved them, and he loved her.

Ray,

Beautiful work!  I love it!

I love working with black walnut.   It cuts smoothly and finishes up nice.   If you cant find Walnut locally try Ebay.  If you poke around you will find many small mom and pop sawmills sell there for extra cash.

Ray,

A Huge Thank You to you and everyone that helped with this project.   You really helped to give my Uncle a great gift in his time of grief!

Attached isn't the best picture of the finished project but it was the best I could do with a gimp camera and bad lighting.

I stack cut 2, one was attached to the box of ashes they buried on Saturday, and the other I framed to give to my uncle.  He said to tell you that you did a wonderful job on the conversion and he especially loved what you did with her hair!

Thank you so much!

Walter

This was done in Inkscape. Here's a copy with black outline. You need the SVG file if you want to change it yourself but this forum doesn't allow that file type. I can email it if you want.

Yes I would love to get the file, Thanks Ray!    I need to start to learn to fish!   "Teach a man to fish..."

Do you still have my Email?

Thanks again!

One more on that image. The 2nd photo is tough to get both faces. Can it be reconfigured (faces moved together)?

Ray,

On the second pic the outline is in red... Which program did you use to get the line and how can I change it to a Black Line??  My printer isnt doing a good job of showing the line and I would like to get as much of the details of the lines as possible when I cut this in the morning.

Thanks!

Wow thanks!  That was fast!   Looks good!  I can work with this I think.

Ray,

Here is what Im working towards... The green will be chalkboard green paint so she can actually write on it and erase it.  She is a professor at UC Davis.

First off, the image below is legal, it was custom drawn for my cousin so no problem with me working with it.

I have a cousin who is a PhD Doctor that I want to convert this image to something scrolled.  Problem is I dont know if I want to do a fret or do it segmented.  I would like to see what you guys can do with the fret and if it is possible.

What I think would work best is scrolling out the inside lines cutting out the pattern and painting the colors on with acrylics. As you can see the eyes and face would take a bit of line magic to make it scrollable into one piece rather than segmented.

I have a full project drawn in Paint.net and have most of it worked out in the head.

Thanks Guys!

Pattern Requests. / Wood Color Pallet for Pattern Designing - Is there an App for that?

« on: February 16, 2014, 01:24:13 am »

I was working on a project in Paint.net and after I got my pattern the way I wanted it I started looking at it and wondering what it would look like with this kind of wood and that kind of backing.

It got me to thinking so Im here asking, Is there a wood color pallet program or even a decent BMP/GIF/JPEG that represents the different wood color ranges like say Aspen, Walnut, Maple, etc that I could use to get an idea of what this wood and that wood would look like with my pattern?

Someone has got to have developed a Photoshop plug in or app that will take the guess work out of just finding a color that "looks like wood"?

And yup I will be cross forum posting this to see if any of the artists have a solution for this and will share if I find one.

Looking good, Malistar!  Thank you!   If you do make another pass at it, you can put in a bit more details if you want to. 
Im a bit past simple, but Im no where near doing stuff like Charles Dearing does!  I want to take my time and do it right.

Thank you so much for the help.

 I've decided to wait a couple weeks before I give it to my uncle. 
He's having a tough time right now.  They were married over 63 years.

Pattern Requests. / Need help with a tough Portrait Pattern Please!

I have two pictures I need to see if you can convert to a pattern, the first is old and the lighting is tough with the background.  The second not as bad lighting but both old.

The first is of my aunt who just passed, the second is her and my mother on her wedding day.  I would like to try to cut one of them to give to my uncle.
Im still new at scrolling so too complicated a detail will be rough for me to cut.

Any help you can give me I would deeply appreciate it!

Thanks

Walter
 
PS.  Thank you to everyone that assisted on this project!   

I big shout out to Ray(EIEIO) His picture is the one they chose and I will add a copy of the finished project.

You helped to make my 80+ year old uncle very happy in this time of grief.   Thank you so much!
