Picture to Pattern Request Please

[mowerman1193]

Our best friends mother passed away about a year ago from a massive heart attack. I told her to get with me and I will make a portrait for her... well she got with me a couple days ago and is wanting 7 portraits to give to brothers and other family while she is visiting next week.. Yeah next week, LOL... Reason I am asking here because it takes me ages to get a cuttable  pattern made.. especially when I am given very poor quality photos to work with, LOL

Not sure if anyone would be able to work with the provided photo or not.. I am currently trying but at the rate I am going she might be able to take it on her visit in the next couple years, LOL

Thanks in advance to anyone that would be willing to give it a go, Oh and we do not want the bunny ears in the portrait

Kevin.... I gave your friends mother a shot....Pix is of poor quality, thus, details were minimal. Hope it
helps.....Ron

Here's another shot at it. She looks like a fun person. Maybe the color outline will make it a little easier? This is scaled for 4x6 inches but feel free to expand it as needed.

Wow, wonderful work you all have done.. Thank you very much. I will show our friend the patterns and see what one she likes..

Thank you all so very much for taking the time to work with these. Most times I can get a workable pattern myself but not when they give such poor quality photos...

She chose to use the pattern from EIEIO. I have stack cut 4 of them done...going to cut the other 3 a little later today ( I hope ). I will post a picture of one of the finished ones when I get some of them completed.

Again I would like to thank all of you for taking the time to make the patterns for me,

Looking fwd to the photo.

Well here is one of the finished pieces. Cut out of 1/8" BBPly and glued a 1/8 painted black backer. I normally use foam sheets as a backer but this one was quite fragile since the whole top portion of the portrait is only held by two bridges by the eye on the one side. After using a painted board as a backer I found I really like that method better.. other than it does take a little more time to wait for the paint to dry.. Maybe I should spray a whole sheet black and cut it to size as needed for portraits, LOL

Anyhow here is the picture and again.. THANK YOU!
