BoxerMel Report post Posted September 27, 2021 It turned out much better than I was expecting it to, as I was working on it. I almost gave up. Lots of room for improvement though, so I’m diving right back in for round two! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

garypl Report post Posted September 27, 2021 Looks great! Is it just a sample panel or is it part of a project? Gary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rleather Report post Posted September 27, 2021 You nailed one of the most difficult, imo, parts and that is the eyes. Really a very nice project! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This was a practice piece that I added two eyelets on the top right and left corners so it can be hung like a picture. I am working on a second, similar piece that I added some text to. If it turns out decent I would like to hang it just outside my craft room. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You call THAT tedious? Um, have you ever done basketweave? Now, THAT'S tedious! (Which is why i refuse to do it.) For a first attempt, I'd call that awesome! Great work!

I appreciate you saying that. It was a bit daunting for me but as I was working it, I also found it building my confidence. It was a good practice piece for sure.

Bel Report post Posted November 20, 2021 That looks really nice, I like the way you drew and tooled the lines in the tan fur, it reminds me of those carved wood pieces that have segments all fitting together to make up an animal face. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
