Heilan Coo

[linkshouse]

My next project is going to be a Heilan Coo (Highalnd Cow for them outside Scotland :wink: ).

It is another attempt at a self drawn pattern.

That looks promising. I've fancied a go at drawing a pattern of the flying scotsman from a photo for ages but every time I try and figure out how to do it I wind up with my brain fried and not a line drawn. :-/

Very good Phil I thought you guys called anyone that lives anywhere apart from the Orkneys and Shetlands Soothmoothers

Look forward to this... my other half is Highland Cow daft!

Ah well, I can't really say as I'm not from round ere myself! We moved to Orkney 13 years ago.

Very nice indeed Phil.

 

[linkshouse]

It's Done...

Thank you for your tip about applying wax Brian. I use Chestnut wax on pretty much all my other stuff but did not know how to apply it to an Intarsia. This one is waxed and I'm loving the finish.

That's a beauty Phill

Thank you.

I have just finished the Stag (same pattern as your recent one, Cheers Andy) and have just a little bit to do on the flying Barn Owl and should be finished in a couple of days

I'd love to see these will you be posting them, or at least adding them to your Flickr album?

THEN its a large Sheepdog and Blackfaced Sheep/ram

Ooh! I like the sound of that. Will it be your own design or a bought one?

my PC has decided to self destruct but managed to save my Intarsia patterns around 45gb of them! will drop it off at the computer shop today and fingers crossed they will be able to save my other stuff on there.

Oh dear! I have time machine set up on my Mac so everything gets backed up to an external drive. When I was on a PC I used Carbonite to backup files online. Admittedly, this is more for my business that personal stuff, but it all gets backed up together.

ps What's next Phill?

Ha ha! This...

I have a couple of none intarsia projects in mind before my moving onto whatever my next intarsia might be. I fancied this - https://store7626357.ecwid.com/#!/Lab-Pup-with-Boot-Download/p/60233084 but now you've mentioned the border collie I'm thinking I might have a browse round Fotolia for a suitable image to make a pattern from as we used to have a border collie and I know it would get me major brownie points with er indoors.

Very nice Coo Phill. I'm sure it looks lovely hanging on the wall. Well done.

Well done Phill, a lovely piece of art.

Excuse my ignorance but as a "suvverna" (sarf of the Thames no less) now living in Switzerland I've never seen a coo looking like that. I guess the Swiss farmers brush & polish their coos every morning - certainly looks like that anyway.

Pimms and Strawberry and Cream if you please young Sir! (Jellied Eels indeed. Dead common).

As my old granny used to say "Norf ov Watferd?" Be careful son, the map goes all white about there, nuffink on it eckcept the only fing yer'll see on it is "Abandon Hope All Ye what Pass Beyond Here".

Ha ha! We alway comment that when we watch the weather on BBC a vague wave of the hand is as much as we get once you get north of Glasgow.

Funnily enough they don't tend to look like that In Orkney either but they are fairly common in the Highlands.
