Ultimate Scrolling Patterns Collection

[Marcel in Longueuil]

Woo hoo!,

I got my bonus issue of 52 paterns for signing up on a 2 year subscription.

They are very nice!

But there are 104 weeks in 2 years what am I going to do?

On the other hand,

Neal Moore that fox of yours looks so sly... You really captured that "sly as a fox" look. And the racoon just plain looks pesky

BobD, thank God for PhotoShop and Jon Deck. He he, those horses came out looking pretty good (Although the smaller one seems to be puckering up for a kiss to the bigger one )

A suggestion: you need to include more dragons & at least one dolphin (wishful thinking)

Thank-you for a nice bonus Shannon & company, nice work from all the contributors.

It is appreciated.

Regards,
Marcel

Marcel's review has me anxiously waiting for my copy to arrive. Never too many patterns in the library is there? Giggle.

Great minds think alike

I recieved my issue yesterday too and I thought it warranted a review.

Two words. Delightful and inspiring.
Ultimate Scrolling Patterns is a reference for all levels of scrolling.
I love the layout, there is a section in the front of the magazine which explains the basics of scrolling.
Then there are sections on different styles of scrolling, fretwork, compound segmentation etc. I don't want to give it all way

It is brimming with patterns from all my favorite artists. Incredible photographs show what the finished projects will look like. There is limited advertising, it feels more like a book than a magazine.
Any single pattern in the book is well worth the cover price.

Great job everyone!

Thanks

Thanks Marcel. "Oakoo" is one of our "Masked Personalities" with the pattern available in both fretwork and segmentation.

Hope you cut "Oakoo" and show us in the scrollers gallery.

Take care
Toni

Different Ultimate Pattern Collection pictured

Hi all,

I was anxious to hear what you all thought of the new pattern collection. Happy to see the positive comments!

The cover featured on that link is an alternate cover. The pattern collection will actually be available on newsstands two different times. It will first hit newsstands (Borders, Barnes and Noble, etc.) in September of 2006. That issue will feature the red cover featuring Neal's "ratcoon." The pattern collection will actually be re-released on newsstands in the fall of 2007 with the blue cover that is currently shown on the website. The INTERIOR of the issue is the SAME - only the cover is different. Don't buy that blue cover on newsstands next year if you already have the red cover!

We didn't do this to try to confuse readers - it was purely for newsstand purposes. I have requested that our web guy change the image on our website to reflect the proper cover.

Got mine last weekend. Spent my commute on the train looking over it from cover to cover. Definitely has some great patterns in it. I may even be tempted to try one of the puzzles, which have never interested me before. To me they seem like something that would be over my head. But just maybe, I'll give one a try. Worst thing that would happen is that I would cut some pretty cool kindling for the fireplace.

Looking at the patterns in the ultimate collection there is one thing I would have liked ( I have yet to do Intarsia) The boot and a couple of other ones didn't tell you what wood was used. I know it tells you light, dark etc. but for a novice a general direction would be nice.

[will8989]

Loved the magazine. Not being an intersia person, I did try the boot and am very excited the way it is coming out. IN fact, I am taking it to a show this saturday, and am anxious for the feed back. As far as wood goes, I just went through my pile of "wood I have to have stack but don't know what I will do with it yet" and sure enough I found a piece of stripped wood for the sides and shoe part of the boot, the wood even had a worm hole in it and it looks like the boot has a hole in it, and used cherry & black walnut scraps for the rest. I even impressed myself!!! Just use your imagination Rolf and I'm sure you have the perfect piece of wood in your collection somewhere!! This is where the imagination part of the art comes into play, just look at what you on hand and imagine it as a boot. Here is a hint for you, save all your large scraps, I consider anything larger than 1" x 1" large, when you cut something, as somewhere down the road you will find the "perfect" project for it. In fact, the sole part of my boot was a scrap from a basket I cut out last year and tossed in my scrap pile! GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY SCROLLING. (Sorry if there is any errors in here but I have on my glasses instead of contacts and can't read too well with them and may have missed a mistake or two!)
