I love to paint nature pictures, especially birds, and I love to scroll, so combining the two passions has become a favorite past-time of mine. I'm not especially good at either one but it's in my blood.
This owl is done on regular copy paper. I am still in the progress of painting the image and the background. First I am going to glue the image to my wood, leaving the edges of the paper about an 1/8 inch short of the edge of the wood. That way the background color will be painted to the edge of the wood instead of the paper coming right to the edge where it could fray during the cutting process. When I am done painting I will begin the process of cutting it into a puzzle.
Yeah, I know I could do the same thing with a printed image, and I've done that. But it wasn't near as challenging or fun.
For those who are interested, I will be posting various stages until the puzzle is complete.
Thanks for looking. All comments and suggestions welcome.
