Very nice job if I say so myself. You have some very delicate sections in there. Great job on the hair too.

That’s great work, Bob. How did you turn the photo into a scrollable image? Did you use one of those software designed to do that?

Paul,

I DO use software, but not “Pattern Makers” software. I have tried some of those, but I find them very elementary and simple in the way they operate. They never give me enough detail.

Part of my “Scrollsawing in a Nutshell” Blog contains some of the methods I use – here’s a link to that entry:

Basically I use PhotoShop for the majority of the work.

Thanks for the compliments!

Very intricate and lifelike portrait. It shows both the picture and reflects the happiness shared between
the couple. You have great skills both with the scrollsaw and with making the pattern to cut. Thank you
for sharing. It is easy to see why they gave you permission to post.

Very nice. You are so good at designing the pattern! I think your finished work is excellent. What software do you use to design with, if you don’t mind my asking?
