looks real good Robert, you did a fine job

[Jediscroller]

Great job Robert! I bet that signature was quite the challenge.

[Minnesota scroller]

Yep, that's The King. Great job.

I've seen alot of Elvis portraits. That one is my favorite !!

[PuzzledMoose]

Very nicely done, Robert. Great pattern and a nice smooth oval round it ...

Way to go Robert! Thanks for sharing!

[Sue Chrestensen]

good to see a new Elvis design..Nicely done!

[Sawduster]

Thanx for the kind words everyone
Kevin, the sig was indeed a challenge but not nearly as challenging as cutting that oval with a spiral ! Ian gave me credit for a smooth cut on it , but if you look closely it has it's share of " jiggles "
Better next time perhaps

Wow, I love it Robert. Fantastic work!

Ian gave me credit for a smooth cut on it , but if you look closely it has it's share of " jiggles "

I can see faint jiggles if I stick my nose about 6" from the screen - as my sister says "a man on a galloping horse wouldn't notice it" It still looks great though ..

I suspect that from normal viewing distance it wouldn't show though - and the centre of attention is the portait itself

I sometimes wonder if we're sometimes too self-critical of things we've done - and I'm as guilty of it as anyone - I always seem to have one niggling little bit on a cutting I'm not 100% happy with - but I guess that's what keeps us improving ..
