Grampa's Rainy Day

[mrsn]

This pattern is from Grampa Paul. I started cutting it last weekend. I have been busy, so only cut a few pieces at a time here and there through out this week. I have cut in the rain, snow and bright sunshine. It is a fitting pattern for the weather lately.

I stack cut 3 from 1/8" plywood. While I was cutting part of the hat broke on the bottom piece. I don't have a need for the bottom cutting, but I thought I might be able to save it by cutting the whole hat out. I am not sure if I like it or not, what do you think? Is the second one a creative design element or firewood?

Excellent Cutting Katie.  I like the subject matter.  Thanks for sharing it with us.

I think the second one looks just as good as the first. So the hat is a different colour/design....no big deal IMHO and not obvious that it broke in any way.

What counts is what you think, you are the final judge.
If you hadn't mentioned it, it's likely no one would notice.
It's the girl's hat and they frequently are different than boy's hats.

Hi Katie, both looks fine. it was an good idea to cut out the hat.

As gabby said.
Until I read all your post I thought you had cut it differently.
I like both, whom ever receives the bottom one will never know , cause the pattern has been removed. I wont tell.

Looks great, nice work. You really don't notice it. My only suggestion would be to cut the other one out to make them look alike.

The true beauty in it is that only the artist knows once the pattern comes off.  They both look great.

Awesome job Mrsn! Both look fantastic, just chaulk it up to creative expression, no one would have known it but you. Keep 'em both they look great.
Thanks for sharing and showing us that even after a mishap, things can still be saved.

Very nice Katie. I think they both look fine! At the very least, you can hang it in your shop for your own pleasure!

Katie...that is called "Artistic License"!

Looks great to me...I sold three of these same cuttings so far!

Very well done!

They both are great, if you didn't see them side by side, no one would have known that the second one was a boo-boo. I agree with GB, Artistic License can be a wonderful thing when needed.

They both look great Katie!  Pattern variations are my specialty!  No two cuttings ever come out alike!
