Title: Face in Nature
Post by: Dan26 on September 17, 2011, 03:23:46 pm
It's been a long time since I did a portrait. This is from Rick McCulley and I believe it's called Face in Nature. Had fun cutting it. Picked up a frame from Goodwill for $2. Frame is a little rough, but overall I like it.

Comments welcome and critiques appreciated.

Thanks.

I'm a big fan of the artist, Bev Doolittle, and this is the kind of thing she paints.
I must get that and cut it!

Great Project! I really like it!

Hey Gray Beard, I thought the same thing about Bev Doolittle. Wouldn't her work be cool as intarsia?

I searched around on the internet for the pattern, but didn't have any luck. i did find out that there are 4 horses in it. I can find 3 but the 4th one is kinda hard to see. Some say it's in the upper left and some say it's on the right side. See if you can find them.

I can't find a link to the pattern but here is a thread on one of the other sites that may help. You should be able to PM him. He sounds very helpful.

Rick's e-mail that I have no longer works.  I understand their is a copy in the scrollers cafe.  I can no longer access that site though for some unknown reason.

Scroller's Cafe won't let any new people in. I was in for a while, but had computer troubles and wasn't able to access for a while and they kicked me out.

I got a message to the designer and invited him to join us here.
He has talked with Steve before but had no idea we have such an active forum and I anticipate seeing him on here soon.

On the 'other' forum he goes by "guitarman"...

Thanks for the info GB. There has been a lot of interest in the pattern but it's not mine so I'm not sure that it would be right to give. I tried searching for Rick on the other sites but came up empty. Hopefully he will pop in here and share his pattern.

I did a show yesterday. Despite the rain (really just a drizzle) there was a great turn-out and we were very busy. I had the picture on display and had lots of people standing around looking at it from all angles. They got excited when they found the face and three horses. Of course, nobody bought it.

Thanks again everyone for the comments, but Rick McCulley is the artist, I just did the cutting. Oh yeah, there are about 110 cuts. I started loosing coun't around 100. I stacked 4 boards of 1/4" BB ply and it took about 4 hours and 12 blades.

Nice work Dan....I made a big mistake the first big project I did was the kitten project, and I stacked two 1/2 inches pieces of barnwood to start off with and it was a 60 year old + board I cut it from,,and well,,that didnt work out so well with the grain and the hardness of the wood,,,I was smoking out blades faster than I could count,wouldnt cut straight as I wanted it to, so why I went to popular.
