HERE COME THE IRISH!
Yes my friends it's just a week a way from that magical day when we'll drink green beer, sing those old Irish ballads, and wear green. Yes the tears will be flowing down the cheeks of some inebriated mick, as he slurs the words to "Danny Boy" and just barely makes it to the bathroom in time to see that green beer again!
So I thought I'd make this shamrock puzzle from a pattern I found on line. The creator of the pattern is unknown. I like the way the pain job turned out. I basically suck at painting but using the different shades of green worked out real nice for this one.
Been working on a lot of things lately. One thing keeping me busy is learning the basics of Corel Draw for drawing scroll saw patterns. Soon you should be seeing some Terry's Scroll Shoppe originals on this blogspot. I have the tremendous aide of scroll saw guru Steve Good. Steve has been posting scroll saw pattern tutorials using Corel Draw. I am having a lot of fun following them and creating some simple patterns. The more complex ones will come later.
Another thing I have been working on this week is the http://terrysscrollshoppe.com website!
Yes! After letting it sit idle for more than a year I am working on adding some pages. The current one is about the scroll saw process and takes you through the steps I use to create a project.
Also planning a products page with items for sale and a contact page for ordering. I am finally motivated to do something with it and I hope to have those pages up soon. Having said that, I also have some orders to fill for some of my wonderful customers right here in town.
Gotta go to work. Look for more later here on the blogspot.
