Mahendra...that pattern was done for me by Chales Dearing and he subsequently sold the rights to Wooden Teddy Bear.
It is available from their catalog....

RE: cutting outline of pattern...I do a lot of my cuttings this way. After the portrait is cut I lightly make a light pencil outline, drill a pilot hole and use a FD Polar #5 to cut around the outline as smoothly as possible. I just like th way the cuttings appear when glued to dark felt or some other backer.

Thanks to all for the nice compliments.

Thanks for the compliments and you did great buddy.  Small correction though.  I just have patterns in their catalog, I didn't sell the rights to the patterns.

Very nice!   Sorry to hear that she passed.   
I was working under my Jeep and saw a bright yellow bird in the grass.   It was a Budgie that must have got lose from someone.   I called him, and pretended like I was scratching at the ground with my fingers and he came right over.  Budgies are very social and eat together so he was naturally attracted to my scratching at the ground.   I reached over and picked him up.  He was so happy to be back in a cage with ample food and water.  I guessing that he wasn't adapting to the great outdoors very well.    Unfortunately, a few weeks later he got lose while my daughter was feeding him, and one of my larger parrots bite him.  He did not survive.    Poor little bird.
