Moose
« on: February 16, 2011, 07:50:24 pm »
My cousin had a baby recently and has the baby's room all decorated in moose stuff, she said it didn't matter if it was a boy or girl moose and cabin type stuff was fun. So when after the baby was born I cut this out. I was really glad the baby was a boy, I wanted to do this pattern but wasn't sure if I could bring myself to cut it for a little girl.
Anyway, I haven't given it to my cousin yet but I can't wait, I wanted to share it with someone.
Thanks
MrsN

The back is Baltic Birch Ply stained "jacobean"
and the moose is 1/8" baltic birch ply
Thanks for the compliments

It's really rare to see a pretty young woman with so much talent.
especially when it requires patience and love of art.
Congratulations go ahead.

Fantastic job, fair lady!

Guess you have convinced me to try some wood backings and incorporate them into the design.

Frankorona... I like the new picture!!!

Thanks everybody, you are so kind.
I really liked the way the wood looked. I tried with some other backing materials, but didn't like them as well. It also really goes well with the "up north" feel of the moose. With this project I actually took pictures of the moose with the other backings and then compared the photos. I was being a little indecisive. I'm a woman, I am almost supposed to be indecisive. I got it narrowed down to this one or green paint wash on wood (you could see the grain of the wood, but it was green)

Frankorona - you are so kind, thank you.
