Doggy face for a friend
« on: December 18, 2013, 06:11:20 pm »
I've tried for a couple of days to turn this image into a Christmas ornament for a friend.  Everything I try just creates a far too detailed image, but to squeeze it down into a 4 inch circle and still capture the essence of the face seems to require artistic skills that I just don't have.

Hammi passed away 3 months ago after 12 years with his friends and I'd love to give them an ornament to remember him by.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey ClayJ I never tried to make ornaments that size before but I did want to try and make a pattern for you. So I fooled around with a few programs I have trying to figure something out. and I did come up with this for you. Maybe it won't work out right but I just wanted to share it with you. I also know that the inside lines are a bit thick.

Travis.

Thank you so much Travis.  That is exactly what I was trying to do but  couldn't.  You got the ratio just right.

I already cut it out and delivered it to my friend.  She cried and said to thank you.

Excellent work. And the pattern is great as well.  Looks like my black lab- Jade.
Thanks for sharing your work.
