I designed this pattern and cut two. One for her daughter witch she finally got this X-mas and one for Laura. This was my first portrait I every cut. I cut this last year about a month after I started using the scrollsaw. The pattern I designed in Photoshop. To much work about 10 hours. Not to bad for a newbee or at least at that time I was.
Thanks Dennis

Very nice work. I do not have the patience for that.

Very nice work. wish ,my saw would cut straight so I could make better 45 angles, but your work is it captures the essece of the person.

Great work on this Dennis, perfect likeness on both. Those computer programs work, but they can sure suck up a lot of time. I suggest you make yourself a light table and just trace by hand. It’s a lot faster and more fun too. That’s I am doing now after initially wasting so much time on the computer. Not everything is best done by machines!
