I like the 'reverse' portrait idea!!!
I said in another thread that I think I am becoming a 'portrait addict'!

Nice work!!!

thanks all for the feedback.

hi marcellarius, i havent learned how to make my own patterns yet. everything i cut is from other talented pattern makers.

hi gb, cutting portraits is addicting. i use to be intimidated by some of them because of the fragile cuts, but found out that the only way to learn is jump right in and take your time.

Very nice Madhatter, I was the same way, Portraits seemed intimidating, but after you cut one, You gain confidence and you want to cut more.
