Latest efforts

[Sawduster]

I had to work Sat so didn't get much shop time this weekend. Didn't really want to start anything big so I mostly just played around .
My friend sent me the logo for the place she works and wanted to know if I could make a sign for her office

I've had this piece of clipart around for a while and decided to just mess around with it. All stain, no paint except for the dots in the eyes. 3/4 cabinet ply that I just had laying around and some gnarly old plywood for a backer that I thoroughly enjoyed making gnarly-er ( is that a word ? )

I'm mighty grateful the heat is gone ....for now at least Hope everyone had a good weekend

Robert, those are both 1st rate! I just cringe everytime a pattern calls for lettering, I'm sure your friend is going to love that sign.

I've got a title for your other project....."Sawdust" King...Doh! sorry

Keep em coming!

Great job Robert! I really like that king. And it's from a pattern made from clipart? That's awesome!

Very nice work!

Great work Robert! I too cringe at lettering. You nailed them both over the wall.

Super,

What size was the original logo provided?
And what size did you make the plaque?

The clip-art came out great also.

Great job on both, and that lettering looks really good.

Regards,
Marcel

thanx everyone , for the kind comments , the lettering was intense , but I'm at least getting better at straight lines !

Jim, I am finding more and more that black and white clip art really has awesome potential for segmentation work . I am fond of medieval things, so I save them as I find them and then wait for the ideas to happen

Marcel, the logo is from a brochure. I cut it out then scanned it and used Paint Shop Pro 7 to make the pattern, needing to make bridges in the G, the A's and the E's . The logo portion of the plaque is 8 1/2 by 11

The Shop Widow says the king reminds her of a fast food icon ....ouch ! Never thought of that Still recovering from that comment ...those commercials are creepy !

thanx again everyone, you really enhance and encourage my efforts

Awesome and first rate job on the lettering, Sawduster. I would cringe too with such narrow bridges.

Robert, I am learning so much as I see your work . Your creativity and imagination are at a level that not too many seem to attain. Except (as he hastens to say) on this forum . I continue to be inspired to work harder to become a good scroller.

Thanx very much, everyone, for the kind words

The other Dale ,
It's hard to believe that 2 months ago I was ready to drop the whole scrolling thing ....then I found this group
the advice and encouragement I have recieved, and the new friends I have made, have truly enhanced my scrolling and got my " spark " back . There is some incredible talent and knowledge here and I am grateful to be part of this family
keep showing up and asking the questions . Believe me, you can't " pester " these folks ....I know, I have tried
