Basset search

[millwab]

Scrollers,
Ever since I finished the Black Lab portrait and showed a co-worker, I've been hounded (pun intended) to do a Basset portrait. After a painfully slow search (on a dial-up connection), waiting for too many screens to redraw, I've given up trying to find one. Any leads or links would be appreciated.

Bruce,

I checked 3 free pattern sites, with cable modem, and no basset. Maybe someone will offer to design one. I checked Absolutely Free, Free and Scrollsaw Portraits to no avail. If there is another site out there I would like to know about it. However, there is a book available from Sloan's that has 46 dog breed patterns and Basset hound is one of the dogs. It's Fine Line Design book #9 - Dog Breeds by Judy Gale Roberts. It's only $16.95. Considering dogs seem to be my specialty, I'm sure I'll be getting it soon. It should pay for itself after 1 portrait.

Good luck

Hi Bruce
Check with a lady named BJ Holms. She is a member of this site and does design work. She might beable to give you a hand.

I do have a pattern from one of the MSN groups of what I believe is a Basset Hound. At least it looks like onewith it's short stubby legs, the big spot on it's back and the big floppy ears. He is standing in front of a fan with his ears blowing back, and it is labeled 'Feel the Breeze'. I searched the MSN groups and couldn't find it posted or I would have added a link for you. I already emailed the original designer asking if I can share it here and I'm waiting for a reply. I will keep you informed if everything comes back ok.

Bruce, I emailed 'iworkwithwood2' from MSN AFSP last night about the basset pattern he had posted to the MSN group, but no reply yet. But I was just browsing the MSN AFSP just now and I came across this one of a Basset just posted today. I don't know if it's what you are looking for, but it may be worth a look.

That is almost exactly like the one that I have, except there is more detail in the fan. Maybe the one I have was removed from that group because it was too much like JayP's design. Hmmm. Makes me wonder...

Bruce,
Go to AFSP under " pattern request " and look at the basset thread. I asked them last nite and today there are a few replies. Maybe one will work for you

Thanx for all the help. I tried using the link Jim provided, but since I wasn't a member I couldn't get in. Now I have to wait to be "approved" before I can check it out. I sure hope this won't end up with a mountain of spam for my inbox.

Bruce,
You're all set at AFSP. I just approved your app. There's 5 patterns to choose from, let me know if one of these suit your needs, I just found a patternable picture to work from if you still need one.

[Sawduster]

No worries Bruce. I have been a member for about a month now and gotten zero spam. I loathe spam Once a week you get an e-mail telling you what is new on the site, but for me, nothing else that I didn't solicit
There are some excellent resources and free patterns on the site plus some top notch designers who will make a pattern for you if you need it. I see Kevin already offered and he is one of the masters !
