Title: New Use for Charles Dearing Pattern!
Post by: MikieD on January 17, 2012, 01:38:15 pm
When I traveled to Florida to escape the northern snow and cold, I realized I couldn't bring my scroll saw with me!  I decided to try and cut some scroll patterns out of paper using an exacto knife and a #11 blade.

Attached are two photos, one of Charles' cat pattern and another of a hunting dog retrieving a pheasant (not sure where I got this pattern!)  Each pattern was printed on good quality 8.5 X 11 inch paper, cut out with the exacto knife and the finished cutting placed on a backing coloured paper.

This was fun, and not too difficult (as long as you use a sharp blade - sort of like scroll sawing!)

Those are wonderful!

The kitten is my late "Splinter" who had to be put down at 3 months due to a fatal infection and we do miss her!

It probably took less time to cut and to scroll.  Absolutely awesome.
