Default Grand Daughter

OK Now I have it. Here is my first attempt at making a portrait patterns. I used the Coyote Stencil Shop software. I got it several months ago, but never had the time to sit down and do any thing with it. This is my 11month old Granddaughter Davaine. Let me know how I did. I haven't cut it yet, when I do I'll post it.

Pete,

First let me tell you what a beautiful granddaughter you have there. She must take after her nonna, lol. Sorry - I'm of Italian heritage as well, and there is no one like your nonna!

The pattern rendition is an awesome copy of the photograph. Please post when you finish the portrait.

G'day Pete,
You have done good.
The only suggestion I'd make is that the cheek line on the left of the little-un's mouth be curved up slightly. This should make her look a bit happier.

Looking forward to seeing the finished cutting.

G'day Pep,
I've one Grandson, and I know about the terrible twos

Thought it was all over for us, when the Eldest boy left home to go to Uni, and the daughter got married. Only our youngest was left in the nest, He's now 15.

Then the peace was shattered, my daughter gave her bloke the flick after 3 1/2 years and moved back in with a 12mth old nipper. He turned 3 in December.

I wouldn't have it any other way though

Here's a pic of the little terror LOL
