Hello everyone, I'm hooked. I started with birds, I have made 4 birds that are sitting in a tree in the garden. So then I thought, what next and I saw a wonderful picture of a chicken so I've got a group in the garden as well! I am a sign maker so I printed the picture on to vinyl using my wide format semi-solvent printer I then laminate to protect from scratching and prolong the life (over 10 years in the garden) then mounted on to 5mm foamex and finally cut out with the scroll saw. Result, a fantastic full colour collection of chickens and roosters in the garden. Next is a cat and a dog then I've seen a spitfire I like...
What a great hobby - regards Peter

Hi Peter,

Yes you are hooked and there is nothing you can do about it! Your birds sound interesting. We sure would like to see some pictures.
