Here's a pattern that was freely offered up on the artcam forum-- I had to do quite a bit of work to clean it up, but it seemed to come out quite nicely in the end. Hope you all enjoy it- please stop me if these patterns start getting too redundant or y'all think I should slow down. This really is a blast, and though it is getting easier with each pattern, I must admit that I still have the utmost respect for those out there making the patterns completely from scratch-- the learning curve is quite steep.

Lawrence

[eelamb]

Keep them coming Lawrence, I did the same thing when I first got into Silo, it is a great way to learn and review how the patterns are created.

Oh that one is very good, again thanks.

[dbfletcher]

Yep.. there can never be too many patterns! Great job! I need to pair down some of my hobbies. I don't have enough time for any of them :(

[edzbaker]

"please stop me if these patterns start getting too redundant or y'all think I should slow down"

Lawrence, Did you bump your head just as you were posting that ?? Never stop sharing those Great patterns.

Thanks.........

"I need to pair down some of my hobbies. I don't have enough time for any of them :sad:"

I'm with you there Doug, my day job is cuting into my fun time WAYYYY too much.

Ed

[LittleRedWoodshop]

Great pattern Lawrence ... I'm with Eddie - keep them coming.

[b.sumner47]

Nice pattern. Thanks , Lawrence Capt Barry

[easybuilt]

Beautiful job Lawrence!! Thanks for all your hard work!

[lawrence]

thanks all... I've gotten a request for the pattern without the lettering here it is.

Again, thanks for all the words of encouragement and support-- I've learned from you all the last couple of years and am glad that I am able to give back a little.

Lawrence

[fwharris]

Lawrence,

Man you are a fast study! Great job and like what the others are saying "DON'T STOP!"

[lawrence]

Hey Lawrence thx and you wouldn;t happen to have the back of this nut cracker

[Old Salt]

Just the right time ,look great
Thanks a lot !

Gary

[henry1]

[chebytrk]

Hope someone can use this with the holidays fast approaching.

Lawrence
You wouldn't have the back side of the Nutcracker would you? Would look nice as a full figure model on a stand. Kinda like the wooden soldier mpc that's out there.

[henry1]

I have the wooden soldier, but this one is nicer hope he come around, would be nice

[lawrence]

Im at work right now so i cannot look into it. I'll look tonight but i do not think that there was a back. I may be able to make one from the front as a pattern

Sent from my MOTWX435KT using Tapatalk

[henry1]

that would be great thank you in advance

[lawrence]

sorry guys... no back to be found... and I'm not yet experienced enough. I won't give up, but don't count on it/certainly don't count on it happening soon.

Maybe someone else with more 3d experience-I can email the STL to someone, but even zipped it is 23mb so cannot be uploaded here

Thank you for trying

[Digitalwoodshop]

More GREAT WORK !!!!

THANKS !!!!

AL

[eelamb]

Lawrence do you have Pattern Editor? if so save the file as a mpw, and upload it here. We can take that and create the stl from it.

and check your pm for message.

[lawrence]

it was still too big to send Eddie, how do I load an MPC here? It is still too big when zipped for some reason

[eelamb]

Lawrence check your pm and send it via email. The mpw as saved from pattern editor will allow editing the file, and saving it to STL format.

[edzbaker]

A .3ds file of a similar nutcracker can be downloaded here: http://archive3d.net/?a=download&id=15350 If I was at home, I would convert it to .stl slice it and post it here.
But,, again my job is interfering with my fun.

Ed

[eelamb]

This is the nutcracker (modified) that edzbaker gave a link to. Showing a front and back of the model. I removed the base, and back handle since it would not carve right with the handle.

This is just the model right now.

Notice it does not have an actual face, or mustache as show in the image on the site. The model shown there was a surface painting (render).
Thus it can be painted as shown in the image below, or I can add the extra features, so it will be easier to paint them.

[eelamb]

Decided to make the pattern without the details. May add details later if I find an interest.

Edit: This sounds bad, it should say if there is enough interested in the pattern.

[eelamb]

I took the image of the nutcracker provided by Lawrence, and from there I created an STL file, and started modeling on it. Here is the front and back of his nutcracker. (front is the same as he uploaded)

[lawrence]

Man, thanks Eddie- that's awesome!

Lawrence

[henry1]

Thank you eeland, will do one today! can those nutcracker be done in PTN file

[eelamb]

Henry, open the MPC file, then click the extract patterns icon and it will extract the patterns to a place you choose in your favorites. See image below.

[henry1]

I was just going to tell you that lol I did it and works great carving it as I am typing will paint it when finish I will post it thx again

[eelamb]

Keeping with Oct theme, here is a pattern some may want. It is too large to fit here, so the pattern is on my site under shared patterns-holidays. Yes this is a shared pattern so feel free to download it. Instructions for downloading is on the shared pattern section. There is no need to register or log in.

I uploaded the PTN here, see they have increased the size limit.

[easybuilt]

Very nice pattern Eddie, Thanks for sharing!!

The folder is zipped and contains both MPC files ...
the top file is set to be cut out of 1/8th inch Baltic birch with the 1/16th cutting bit
the bottom file is 3/4 inch stock and has a slot for the "Happy Halloween" to stand up in and 2 cut outs for tea light candles
I just sprayed the bottom black and painted the top orange for the letters and then painted the ghost white ... enjoy

Not sure why, but I can't even zip and load the MPC file or PTN file... oh well, just import the image, invert it, lower the edge by 1 and bob's your uncle anyway.

Enjoy,
Lawrence

[easybuilt]

very cool Lawence!! thanks so many pumpkins to carve next week, LOL

[LittleRedWoodshop]

I know we are supposed to post ptn files - but this looked like to much fun to not share it - here is the MPC.

Lawrence - I am looking forward to seeing it ...

[lawrence]

Jason, thanks again for the pic- I carved it this morning.

Here it is up against a light-- I'll take it into work this week and take a pic of it in my lightbox. I have a black and a green light and am curious how they will look behind it.

WOW !!! Guys I feel like I've just won the Halloween Lottery. Great work, Thanks , Off to play now. Capt Barry

[LittleRedWoodshop]

Hey Lawrence -

They make these really cool LED bulbs that change colors, or you can set to stay on one color (one of them being RED) - they range from 9 to 12 colors. So if you do a search for "A19/LED/PARTY" you can find it - should run about 10 bucks. They are awesome in lithopane boxes. EDIT ... they all seem to be made by FEIT.

Ok how did we get to Easter already. Well here is something to chase that Easter bunny back where it belongs.

[LittleRedWoodshop]

What the Heck is that ... LOL - ok the Easter Bunny is gone - he he he.

[eelamb]

Maybe this one is a little better.

[LittleRedWoodshop]

I knew what it was --- I meant it's scary and yes the Easter Bunny was a little out of place.

[eelamb]

Jason you know I was kidding you? And the first one I did a bad job on it. This one is just a little better, but not really good either. :)

[eelamb]

skull n bones pattern, plus Frankenstein pattern has been added to my site.

[lawrence]

very cool skull and bones Eddie- Jason, thanks for yours too-- they look great

Well, this is probably the last one of these for a while as my buddy needs his dongle back. Here's a spider for halloween

Thanks Jason! Keep up the very talented designing.
Did you get some rest? I off to the gym.

After seeing Eddie's Mad and Alien Pumkins, -- I thought I'd add something like what we up North used to call a --"Who-Do"

[chebytrk]

After seeing Eddie's Mad and Alien Pumkins, -- I thought I'd add something like what we up North used to call a --"Who-Do"

Down south we call it a "hain't" and "who do" is what we think is voodoo mixed with something else from the swamps....... :D

[eelamb]

Kenm, that is a very nice who-do. It does look like something from Cajun country. Did not know they had those up your way too.:)

[eelamb]

Lawrence, love your spider. Too bad about returning the dongle, that Sentinel program for artcam will cut into your play time without the dongle.

Hi all- here's another pattern to get ready for the holiday season...

The original is from here

[Ducky63]

Lawrence
Thank you for the trains. You do really good work, keep it up.

[fwharris]

Another great job Lawrence!

[Old Salt]

Thanks

all aboard

[easybuilt]

Nice job Lawrence!! Thanks for making it for us and sharing!

[SharonB]

Lawrence...if I get a chance I'm going to try your Christmas Train as a two-sided carve. Think it would like nice over the fireplace during the holidays.

[lawrence]

Thanks all-- the original artist deserves the credit though- (which is why I'm linking all the patterns I post to the original) Once you post it on sketchup it is fair for use.

I'm really just changing the file to suit the carvewright and am glad you all can enjoy the material as well. You'd be astonished how many other sites have free 3d files that you can download, manipulate in meshlab, and then import as an STL. Many/most of these sites allow you to use the material in a final project but do not give permission to distribute the pattern. Sketchup is an exception and you are free to use as you'd like.

I highly (very very highly) recommend purchasing the STL importer. It (in conjunction with the free program meshmixer) allow you to legally and ethically import thousands of free patterns from the internet for use.

Thank again all- I just want to make sure I'm not taking any more credit than I deserve (which is very very little to none) for these patterns
Lawrence

[Kenm810]

Very Nice, Perfect Timing Lawrence,

If you happen to have a blank car similar to one you with winows,
folks could add cars with their Kids or Grand Kids names on the them to the Train.

Just a thought

Thanks for the compliments folks! I was going to post this sooner, but it was too big. So, I learned how to resize a pattern this morning... I've been using nupastel chalks on my boards. I like the effects, and after a few coats of poly spray, they turn out pretty nice.

[gregsolano]

Really nice pattern and project, thanks for sharing.

I didn't catch that the first time I read it, so you draw on it with chalk and then spray finish over the chalk? that sounds very interesting and maybe easier than painting. Are there any videos demonstrating this technique?

dave

[chebytrk]

I've never heard about nupastel chalks. Can you tell us about it a little more on how you paint your projects? Also, where do you buy these chalks?

[crfahy]

http://www.prismacolor.com/products/pastels This site tells about the chalks and has links to where you can buy them. I'm sure I got mine from Amazon - I was going to use them for another project that I haven't got around to because of this carving obsession! I got a box of 72 soft colors, and 12 hard. I love the variety of shades. They blend very nicely. I'm still experimenting of course! If you look at my album, all of the landscapes that I made from pictures are colored with chalks. They would have taken a lot longer using acrylics! On the lovebirds, I had already put a coat of natural stain mixed with a little puritan pine, but then decided I wasn't happy with it and went for the color. Wish I had started with my plain pine board. With the moose, I went over the chalk with a bit of stain to deepen the colors. After I chalk, I wipe it in with a corner of paper towel to blend and set it in. I learned to put masking tape around the frame so I don't slop chalk from my hands on it. Once it's on there, it's hard to sand off!

[eelamb]

Colleen and others Hoby Loby has chalks, along with stiff bristle brushes for applying it. I use it along with acrylics, by painting the acrylics, then shadow/blend or age using chalk. Plus chalk alone where where I want an almost transparent effect. As Colleen mentioned then coat it with a clear finish. Now I am not the painting expert, I leave that up to the wife. You do have to rub it into the wood, and try to keep it off your fingers or you will transfer it to areas you do not wish the chalk to be.

Seasons Greatings.Hope someone can use this.

[mtylerfl]

Thanks, Lawrence!

Question for you...is it possible to re-calc/re-mesh the triangulation of the original model to a smaller tolerance to achieve a smooth surface and eliminate the faceting? If not, that's OK - that's what sandpaper is for! ;)

[RogerB]

Just found this pic .Thought some one with kids would like this.

Merry Christmas

[CNC Carver]

This one is for the young Ladies.

[chebytrk]

Seeing these has me asking if anyone has run in to any more gray scale sites on the internet. Last one I recall was the Chinese site that had tons of gray scale images. Maybe we can try & form a possee to go out & hunt some sites & post the links on a gray scale thread? Anyone interested?

[davful]

More Christmas Scenes

JerryB you can use Gimp on a lot of pics that is what i am using. To convert the files.

[oscarl48]

As I was going through the grocery line today I saw Valentine's Day is coming around the corner. So another quick model.

Disclaimer :)
I am using these as learning opportunities to get better knowledge on using my software tools and not really focused on the models but more on how to make them. So an apology for not great models. I am not really taking the time to clean them up but it shows how quick they can be done. It took about 15 minutes to build a 3d model in blender 3d and then move into CW. So about 20 minutes total. And hopefully someone can use them for something at some point.

[oscarl48]

I needed a little break from a project I am working on that caused me to use a brown marker in my underpants. I was wiring something that I did not ground properly and had a nice 20K Volt arc. I may have missed a heart beat or two as it dawned on me on what I had done (and survived :D).

So here is another Valentine's Heart pattern using a heart pattern with a basic circle cut out (I took a little bit more time and care on this one). Perfect for that witty saying. No I am not carving the second picture. It is being used only for illustrative purposes.

Heart pattern included for your own design building pleasure. Again blender 3d to CW port.

I am still playing with the stl importer and had an idea for a Christmas ornament. Carved it out today in red cedar to see how it would come out. Well its a little bit on the huge side (4 inches across). 1 hour and 40 min in normal.

But if someone wants to play with it later in the year when its actually time for these things here it is. I made it so it would be an even four pieces at 3/4in but doesn't have to be. I am enclosing the mpc I used to carve the sample but also the ptn if you want to modify them. It is symmetrical so its really only two pieces mirrored. The year is added as text so you can modify what it states or use it year to year (blank slate).

The design idea was for one side to have the year and the other blank area is to glue a picture in there to personalize it.

I like your design and your choice of cedar as it gives a natural Christmas color. I plan to put it to good use. Thanks for sharing!

dbemus

[oscarl48]

dbemus thank you. Hope it comes out the way you want it.

And for the next novice pattern...and since I do not celebrate the holiday here is another Valentine design. Two rose patterns used with text in between. Same 3d model with stl from different angle.

[oscarl48]

Work got cancelled due to weather and I can't do any woodworking because my shop is my back patio (Unhappy). Can't wait to have a shop. Oh well. Happy Easter. Thinking of adding some hats or clothes to make him a bit more unique. If I do I'll add them on later.

Single bunny pattern copied and resized with different height. Still learning/working on getting better depth out of my patterns. Pretty happy with this one in that aspect.

Edit: Quick baseball cap and vest model build and now a Little league/baseball Easter bunny.

[mtylerfl]

Nice job, Oscar. The Bunny is cute!

[RogerB]

Thanks oscarl for sharing they look great

[dbemus]

Thanks Oscar! Carving the sign tomorrow to hang by my front door.
dbemus

[oscarl48]

Wonderful. Please let me know how it carves.

The weather has been terrible in North Louisiana and with no shop I am stuck inside again. First nice weather is forecasted for Sunday. Hopefully I can make some sawdust then. Too many hobbies, not enough time and work keeps getting in the way.

[eelamb]

This can be considered late or early. I actually just finished this one up a few weeks back. Started it back in Nov of 2014, but never got it completed. First off I did not make the patterns in this scene, I collected them and assembled them to make this scene.
This scene is LARGE 30"+ in length and still looks good down to 17". Below that detail will be lost. Some draft needs to be used for the thin parts to prevent breakage while carving. These images do not show the pattern justice for you can not see all the details until you bring it into designer.

[ladjr]

Eddie
I always prefer that I was planning ahead. At least that is my story. Nice job.

[RogerB]

Thanks for sharing Ed very nice work.

[CNC Carver]

Ed you are sharing your great work. Finding lots of current posts that will get used this year. Thanks for sharing.

Jeff

[eelamb]

Jeff, thank you very much.
Everyone should look under animals, sports, characters, holiday, and objects for more patterns I have uploaded. I believe I have posted about 42 patterns in past few days, still undecided on some, since they are earlier work and not really that good.

[oscarl48]

A very quick 10 min pattern build but I think it came out okay. I am getting quicker if not better. Pattern is only of the award ribbon but a good vehicle to wish a happy father's day.

Regards,
Oscar

[cestout]

Oscar,
how about the ribbin pattern without the text so carvers could use it for any award?
Clint

[oscarl48]

;) Clint, it is a blank award ribbon. I added the text separately in the picture to show it could be used for father's day.

I am learning versatility in the patterns make them more useful. Soon I hope to be able to start selling some of these but for now I am till refining my skills.

I am working on my pendulum clock today and building an instruction sheet with it. All critics are welcome on how to improve on it for future efforts.

[oscarl48]

Playing around with different modifiers. I really like this affect. Took literally 30 seconds to make.

Thought this would make a nifty Christmas ornament or other type of decoration.

[Capt Bruce]

Oscar,
That is a really terrific pattern you have shared as the Jagged Star. I think I will try that one painted with a blue background and gold or silver gilt for the star. Thanks as always for your generous shares.
They are appreciated very much by those of us with little or no design talent.

[oscarl48]

I am glad you will have a chance to carve it. If you have time please share with us the final project. This is still all play and practice. I am very far away from where I want to be in my designs but closer than when I started. I wish I could say more about this design but it did take a whole 30 seconds to make.

I visited your website and all your products are beautiful. Nice job on all of them.

I second that motion capt

[cestout]

Oscar,
FYI, I have always used MS Publisher fro my instructions/tutorials. CarveWright sent me the template in Word format, but pictures slip and slide in that. I can send you or any one the template for projects in MSPub format. Then you print it to PDF for upload.
Clint

[oscarl48]

Clint,

Sorry I missed this post. I typically use Coreldraw for publishing to pdf. I works pretty good. Thank you for the very kind offer though.

Regards,
Oscar

Another 2 minute pattern making drill. Christmas presents. Woohoo. I hope I get some. Ammo wrapped up in a pretty red bow.

pattern enclosed are the presents only for your combining pleasure with your other holiday patterns.

[easybuilt]

That is an awesome pattern osscarl48! Thanks for sharing.

[ktjwilliams]

Nice Oscar !!!!

[oscarl48]

Thank you gents. Here is another not perfect pattern. Took about 1/2 an hour to make and not really happy with it because, to get any detail you have to carve at least .5" or carve small.

It probably could make a nice tree ornament if mirrored and carved through and then glued together. hmmm ...idea.

I also have to do something about the nose. It just doesn't work unless you are looking straight ahead at the pattern.

[oscarl48]

Merry Christmas everyone.

Enclosed are three tree ornaments for use in last minute Christmas gift carvings.

I have another book I have to start tomorrow for a gift. And then just 5 more projects behind that one before Christmas. I am not behind at all. :D

[oscarl48]

I was experimenting on how to wrap objects around curves and this is one of the outcomes. Not great since it was only an exercise for learning a new modeling technique for me. The banner is blank on the pattern.

[normrichards]

Another good pattern, You are really getting good at this!

[oscarl48]

A quick little pattern of a fire cracker in celebration of the upcoming 4th of July. The pattern is of the firecrackers in the image only.

[Smoken D]

Nicely done! A real BANG of a winner!:D

[normrichards]

Thats really cool, thanks for sharing it oscar and happy 4th!

[oscarl48]

a bang of a winner...lol. chuckling. I think I am going senile. I thought that was funny.

Norm, happy 4th as well.

[oscarl48]

Yuup. I was bored. I was thinking of throwing in more stuff but my wife tells me I usually add too many things in these patterns. :D

[normrichards]

Its actually cool, do you have the pistol by itself?

[oscarl48]

I do. I've actually posted them previously. If you search crossed flintlocks they should come up. If you have problems finding them let me know and I can re-share.

[ktjwilliams]

Nice work Oscar .... Luv your stuff,,,, Patterns are my weak spot .... Jealous .... Ha

[normrichards]

I did find them if anyone else is looking here they are.

Enclosed is a pattern that didn't quite work out as I had planned. Not horrible but not great either. Haven't carved it so don't know if it has any issues. The rendered image came out good at least. :)

[oscarl48]

Another Christmas with the CW family. Hope everyone is ready for the revelry and celebration of Christmas (spiked eggnog in cupboard). All the presents are bought and good cheer abounds.

Merry Christmas all (in a week).

P.S. pattern is only the graphic.

[oscarl48]

Valentine gift idea.

Yes, a little cheesy and corny but a perfect way to make your perfect gal smile.

This was a speed modeling exercise. Took a little over 15 minutes to make and I only cheated once by reusing the key.

[normrichards]

Really Cool Oscar, Thanks!

[oscarl48]

Norm, thanks. Here is another one for Valentines. :)

[oscarl48]

Happy 4th of July.

[oscarl48]

Happy 2017 Halloween from my family to yours.

[dbemus]

Very nice design!! Thank you for sharing!

[DianMayfield]

Very cool Oscar! Hate to ask, but it is so perfect for something else I am doing, would you have the moon as a separate pattern?

[oscarl48]

Thanks guys.

Dian,

I do though I am not claiming this as mine. I used a picture from the web and it's a designer import.

P.S. I should have also added the image is from NASA.

Also included the hat and broom separately for your use. These are my creations. :)

[oscarl48]

Merry Christmas from my family to yours. A little early but maybe someone can use the fireplace pattern.

[oscarl48]

Here is an idea for a Christmas ornament small picture frame. Circle indent meant for picture to be glued in the center. Meant to be painted.

[oscarl48]

Happy Easter 2018. Different versions.

[dbemus]

oscarl48

Beautiful pattern for Easter! Thank you for sharing!

[oscarl48]

Thanks. Hopefully its of use to somebody. Even if its just a graphic on something.

[oscarl48]

Happy Easter everyone and well wishes.

Wasting a little bit of time while waiting for the family to show up but the ham is in the oven and the eggs are ready to be stained and painted. Threw together a little cornucopia of eggs for the season.

[oscarl48]

A little early but hopefully useful to someone. Pattern is only the stars.

[SharonB]

Nice pattern Oscar.

[oscarl48]

Sharon, thank you.

[dbemus]

Very nice pattern!! Thank you for your generosity!!

[oscarl48]

dbemus, you are welcome and thanks.

I'll post one more holiday pattern prior to 4th of July weekend.

All: Any ideas or something you would like to see.

[LUXSUB2000]

How do you carve this? Is this a material other than wood?

[fwharris]

How do you carve this? Is this a material other than wood?
It is carved in wood.

[oscarl48]

Happy early 2018 Halloween!

Pattern is the hockey mask by itself. Hopefully someone can use it for a Halloween carves. :)

There are a bunch of knives on here and this one isn't particularly good but let me me know if any wants the knife in the scene and I'll post it as well.

[RogerB]

Oscar Nice looking pattern Thanks for sharing.

[judgejrt]

Thanks for all you do

[oscarl48]

Guys, you are welcome. It is amazing how much I am enjoying playing with this stuff. I just wanted to learn how to build patterns but this 3d art stuff is addictive. Its just keeps getting better.

Here is another quick pattern for Halloween. My fast version of Hannibal Lecter. For fun a quick render as an image.

[oscarl48]

Happy 2018 Columbus Day!

The pattern is the projected stars only. I've shared the flag previously. This element should be helpful in a lot of different scenarios. :D

[oscarl48]

Dibs on the turkey leg.

I got the crazy idea of modeling a turkey leg for Thanksgiving. As you can see it looks just like a turkey leg, chicken leg, quail leg, frog leg,...lol. Its going to be all about context.

Hopefully someone can use it this coming holiday.

[oscarl48]

Long pillow with hearts. The pattern does not include any text. I just added it in the picture as an example.

Happy 2019 Valentine's Day.

[dbemus]

Oscar

Very attractive pattern. The photo shows how eloquently your text fits the pattern! This would make a great cover for a Valentine's Day gift box. Thank you for sharing your outstanding talent!!

[oscarl48]

Hopefully it is of use to someone. :)

[oscarl48]

Happy wine drinking day 2019. As such we all need a corkscrew to begin the festivities. :)

Recommend adding some draft due to the sharp point.

[oscarl48]

Getting ahead of the holiday time crunch.

Pattern is only the Halloween wreath.

[dbemus]

Great pattern!! Thank you!

[oscarl48]

As always :)

[oscarl48]

Happy Halloween 2019!

[oscarl48]

Merry early Christmas 2019.

Sharing this pattern hopefully early enough that you can use it for the holiday carving season.

I have not carved this yet so if you find any issues with it let me know to fix.

[dbemus]

Beautiful pattern! Thank you for sharing! An early Merry Christmas to you!!!

[oscarl48]

Early Merry Christmas as well. Hopefully its useful to someone this season.

[oscarl48]

Happy 2020 St Patrick's Day. Hopefully early enough pattern can be of use.

[dbemus]

Nice work! Thank you for your generous sharing! Will try to carve this and get it finished and donate to a local Deli for their holiday decor!

[oscarl48]

That is also very generous. :D

Let me know if anything is off with it and I can tweak.

[Raine]

This is so beautiful!!!

[oscarl48]

:)

Leprechaun grabbed his hat and started plotting on where to hide the gold.

[dbemus]

Very clever pattern! i like it!!!

[oscarl48]

Good. Hopefully of use this season. ;)

[oscarl48]

Happy Easter 2020.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Easter day.

Added bonus: I rendered the model for your graphics fun pleasure. Maybe a digital postcard for friends and family wishing them a Happy Easter. :)

[fwharris]

Happy Easter to you Oscar.

[mtylerfl]

Thanks, Oscar!

Happy Easter!

[Mugsowner]

Cute bunny Oscar, and wishing everyone a happy Easter

[Bigtyme]

Happy Easter everyone!!! Stay Safe!!!

[oscarl48]

Thanks all. Happy Easter.

We just had potentially two small tornados and have been in the dark for the last few hours. Power just came back. Spring weather in East Texas. Got to love it.

Hope every has a wonderful day.

[LindaEich]

Does anyone have a sign pattern for the 4th of July? I am looking for something that would fit on a board a6x11.25x.75. Thank you!

[oscarl48]

Here is a quick pattern for 2020.

Happy 4th!

Pattern is just the fireworks and flag and fairly shallow to keep it small. Use at least medium draft.
