Mom's birthday present
« on: May 06, 2011, 04:09:23 am »
My mom turns 83 today. A while back I asked our good friend Paul if he could help me out by making a family portrait for me I send him 5 pics and he came up with the design thanks again Paul. My mother does not have a photo of the five of us together as my brother and SIL live in South-Africa, but now thanks to Paul she will receive this one later today. We will have a bbq to celebrate her birthday will post her reaction later on.
Now the pics.
David
PS This was my first ever portrait I cut and enjoyed it.

Hi Paul,
My mom loves it and wants me to thank you for making the pattern. Yes I think I could get hooked on this, which will probably mean that I will be looking for help from you and others to create a sawable pattern.
Going to get the stuff ready for our bbq.

You did a great job on cutting it out.  Portraits can become habit forming.  May your Mother have a wonderful Birthday.

Thanks guys. We had a super day such a privilege to still have my mom, she has already decided where she want to hang this piece. So I need to make some hooks in the back and then I will hang it up for her next week will take a pic once it's on the wall.
