Hoipiepeloi,

Today i finished my first pattern. I made it in GIMP and it was really great fun to do!
I also post a picture of my oldest daughter, she is 10 years old, so you can see if i made a good pattern. I started scrolling already, i have only popular wood 4mm for the moment, so i give it a try. I ordered some good wood for portrets but i have to wait a week before it's there. Anyway my younghest daughter want me to make a pattern of her picture too, so i know what to do these days.
Have a nice day,
Frieke

Hey Ray,
Thanks for reply.
Yes it's my first scrollsaw pattern, but not the first drawing i make. I just learned to use gimp last week, and i worked a week on this pattern, untill i thought it was ok. I always want to do perfect things, at least i try to do.

G'day Frieke,
What a beaut job on the pattern. I've had Gimp on my machine for about 12 months now and can open and close it.

You have done a great job.
