Granddaughter's First Intarsia

[Jan]

Because I'm not allowed to post any pictures of my absolutely drop dead gorgeous granddaughter (her father is very protective of her), this is the only way I can show you what a great job she did on her very first intarsia project. She's quite proud of it. She did the cutting and shaping with very little help from me. We will not discuss how much advice she got from her father, but know that she has made a fine art of eye rolling!

Looks like she had an excellent teacher guiding her. That really turned out nice for bring the 1st. She could have her calling in life.

Nicely done. Is her name by chance....DOT?

Terrific job, Jan. Tell your granddaughter that most adults would be proud to produce a piece like that.

And about your discreet removal of identifying characteristics, given some of the shady types who lurk around this forum, you can't be too careful.

Hey Jan - tell Alex from me that she did a really great job and she should be really proud with the result.

I think also that your contribution must put you up there high in the 'greatest granny' lists.

Hope Alex gets to continue scrolling in the future. It sure is good to see youngsters doing something creative.

Well done to you both

Looks like she enjoyed herself. It is very obvious that she has talent. What a nice memory making occasion and she even has a keepsake to remind her of this time spent together.

Thanks to all of you. I will be sure to pass on your comments to Alex.

Very nicely done Alex! An artwork to be proud of...and a granny to be proud of too!!!

Jan, I'm sure you are very proud of Alex...as you should be. She did a wonderful job on that piece. Hope she stays with it for years to come. I'll bet her Father has more than one shotgun laying around the house just waiting for the young man that thinks he wants to hang around....

I passed on the good things all of you said about Alex's work. As for her father, we think he may allow her to start dating sometime after her 30th birthday.

Hey starting another one out young, LOL tell me when she wants to try one of mine, she did a great job.

[Jan]

Thanks, Bruce. She looked over your pelican pattern and the pieces I've already cut for that project and decided she'd stick with the simple stuff for a while. I guess I'll have to show her your teddy bear pattern.

I have a biker bear coming up in a magazine she might like, not simple but not to hard either

Great job! Another artist in the making for sure. She ...and you, should be proud.
