| My First Segmentation Pattern Here's my first segmentation pattern. I learned lots of lessons (like make the pieces bigger next time, hehehe). I'm pretty happy with it though. I was orginally going to do it as an intarsia piece but I figured I'd rather work the kinks out with a piece of pine than expensive pieces of lumber.
I still have to figure out what I'm going to do for a frame, I'm thinking a shadow box type would be best.

| That's it Kevin, I'm retiring. If you can cut great segmentation as well as great shadow portraits, there's no need for anyone else, is there?
Seriously, you've done a smashing job and it'll be a huge hit with whoever sees it. What sort of paints did you use?

| Cute carousel horse, Kevin - haven't I seen a fretwork pattern of yours for that somewhere too. Nice job and nice colours ..
Now how about a segmented version of that great Knight pattern of yours? The size of some of the parts of that it might have to be wll-sized though

| Very nice Kevin! Great colors also. I think the shadowbox frame would be perfect!
I'm with Ian, lets see one of that knight!

| Great job Kev.. I don't see that a shadowbox would just have to be around it.. I like it just the way it is. I can imagine that hanging in a little girls room without the shadowbox...seems the box would take away from the hourse. ---- ew ew ew ew ( brain fart ) -- how about cutting some more in different colors and hang them with it like a real carosel ?? and maybe a top ?? then of course a bottom... but none in a box -just group them as if it were a carosel....wouldn't that look spiffy -- but if I am wrong then hit me softly with a wet noodle for my lashes.

| Thanks all for the kind words.
Gill, I used acrylic paints which reminds me of something else I learned. Acrylic paints + veining cuts = a pain in the rear-end, hehehe.
Ian, nope, there's no fretwork version of this pattern though I have done a few carousel horse fretwork patterns.
Sharon, it will need some kind of frame as the painted backer is just 1/8 ply. As far as cutting some more in different colors, neat idea but I'm going back to my regularly scheduled fretwork, LOL! I can only handle one of these every couple of months.
As far as converting the knight pattern into a segmentation pattern, I wouldn't have a clue how to go about it nor do I think I would have the patience to cut it.

| Great job Kevin. I'm partial to carousel horses being as I used to carve them. I like the paint also. Good choice of complementing colors!!
