first time for everything
« on: November 25, 2011, 01:15:31 pm »
This is my first portrait. I cut it for my mom for Christmas. I had to use ply because I didn't have any hardwood big enough. I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome. Gave myself a little pat on the back LOL..

You deserve a pat on the back. You did a great job. Most of my portraits are made out of ply.

Good job!
Don't break your arm patting yourself on the back, here I'll help break your arm patting your back!
