As Hallowe'en Approaches...

[Gill]

... I've completed my interpretation of Fisnarl, a pattern designed by Sue and Toni at Chrestenson Burghout Designs. It's inspired by the darker creatures that populate Middle Earth and has been cut out of 18 mm MDF.

It was very enjoyable to cut and a challenge to shape. I hope people here approve of it, even if they might find Fisnarl somewhat difficult to actually like .

Thats great. I love it!

 

[MikeW]

Wow, Gill! Your skill just amazes me.

I assume the pieces were finished them assembled? Or was it painted after?

Take care, Mike

That's very very nice, must have been a challenge.

Good work Gill.

amazing Gill. I remember what you did last year for H'ween. Inspired me to have a go, might have to dig out the scroll saw again when the workshops finished.

Looks just like the inspiration for 'Predator' but a beautiful piece all the same!

Gill,

Very good, if hung out it might keep some of the trick or treat hords at bay. :twisted: :wink:

Mike - yes, the components were finished first, then assembled.

I'm pleased this project has been well received here, and I'm also pleased nobody has said they actually like it. Let's face it, you'd need therapy if you liked Fisnarl !

I posted this project on an American forum and got a much more muted response. I wonder if that tells us anything about our trans-Atlantic differences? Most of the patterns for scrollers that are commonly available over here are designed by North Americans but I've long suspected that Brits have different tastes.

Ironically, Fisnarl was designed by North Americans :roll: !
