Plate Portraits
These are two projects I did these to show all what Plate Portraits are. Both patterns are by Gayle, co-founder and head momma rabbit of ?The Scroller?s Caf??, a scroller forum. Gayle is a very talented pattern maker.
Both plates are bamboo picnic plates. I only have one left and can?t find them anywhere. There are several sites that sell actual turned wooden plates on the net. Guess I?ll use those for future projects.
Both plate portraits utilize my sand inlay techniques. The Blanca one is poured, the other sprinkled.
The first is of Blanca.
She was our beloved miniature schnauzer until she went to doggie heaven last year at the age of 12. We still miss her very much. This portrait was for Traudy?s (my wife) birthday.
The next is Pico.
He is a year old, 10 pound Yorkypoo. Pico is our son?s dog and we doggie sit sometimes. We meet in Chapel Hill (that?s about half-way for both of us and we get to shop at A Southern Season, our favorite store) and take him home with us. We really enjoy the experience and he is a very energetic and affectionate dog.
This is a traditional portrait I did from the same pattern.
I hope you enjoy. As always, comments welcome.
