Smile My First Portrait

I have been so inspired by all of you who design your own patterns! It seems that I sit nightly (or daily if I am working nightshift) trying to make my own patterns too...determined to get one right. I finished this pattern today with Corel Draw and think it turned out alright. I cut it out of 1/4" flooring ply and backed it with a piece of walnut. Now....how in the world do I frame and finish it?

Thanks for looking...and advice!!

Tammy

Oh...and the picture I posted with my project was the one I used of my Granddaughter while she was playing with my Dad.

Thank you for your kind comments. I thought that I'd post the actual finished product now. My hubby helped me figure out how to cut framing for it. Tammy
