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. ;D ;) ;)

nice work Katie thanks for sharing
-
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! ;)
-
I say burn it, Just burn it, BURN BURN BURN........ Just kidding I had to be differnt. I like it a lot with the hat cut out. Both look great but I like things a little differnt to. Great work. But remember it does get cold in the winter......
-
Going to jump on the bandwagon here. Both look great. Sometimes it's hard to look at your mistakes but nobody else sees it. (still trying to learn that trick)
-
Hey Katie I like it I think it gives the cut a whole new life the same but different which makes it an Orginal in my book Keep unless you really don't liek it then BURN IT!!!
-
Both are great. You just cut the hat out of one so you could tell them apart ???
-
Great job Katie, they both look first class.......Paul
-
There ya go Katie, Grampa has spoken and is correct as usual... great job on both...
Bruce ;D

Looks great mrsn, if I did not know the pattern I would be none the wiser about the black hat, looks like it's just part of the pattern.

I believe you should never underestimate your work.
Sometimes we've all been there, I know it's frustrating, yet rewarding is the power to fix it.
Your effort paid off, it looks great, you should feel proud that
yo creo que nunca debes menospreciar tu trabajo.
Algunas veces todos hemos pasado por lo mismo, yo s? que es frustrante, pero a la vez gratificante es el poder arreglarlo.
Tu esfuerzo rindi? frutos, se ve muy bien, de ?so debes sentirte orgullosa

thanks for all the comments. I decided to put the cuttings away in different spots for a couple of days and come back with fresh eyes to see if I liked both. I checked this morning and decided that I really like the black hat. I am glad I gave it a chance, although I bet it would have made a pretty fire ;)
thanks

To burn or not to burn..... what was the question. I think it adds character, to known that this piece it is unique makes it more valuable. Anyone can cut the pattern but not like this one. I say "KEEP it" ;D
