ASK THE EXPERTS
Jo Ann asked Harmon how to use a glue stick when attaching his patterns to wood. Harmon said he uses blue painters tape as a prep and then attaches his pattern on top of the tape. Faye said that using the clear shelf liner will also keep the glue stick from attaching to the actual wood.
BRAG TABLE
David Borg showed off his latest small dragons. He showed his two sided pumpkin. Good face pumpkin on one side and bad face on the other side. Very cute. He also had 2 plaques of relief carving of Halloween scenes. My favorite was two necklaces with carved hearts and sayings. All very nice.
Harmon brought his compound cutting of mushrooms. His granddaughter painted all the figures in bright colors. Very happy figures. These were Sue Mey patterns.
David Atkins showed his cutting of a parrot pictures with a self cut frame. Charles Dearing pattern
.Grover Pierce cut a 6 sided box with top using a Timberlace pattern. Very detailed design.
Faye showed several dog plaques she cut from a book of Judy Gayle Roberts early designs. She backed the plaques with bright colored fabric and paper. Faye cut a large August cross using a Timberlace pattern
Jo Ann brought several ornaments that were painted and a 3 layered nativity featuring red cedar and oak.
February demonstration: Faye led a discussion on how and why we all got into scrolling. It is very interesting to hear our many stories.
DEMONSTRATIONS
March Mike from Seyco will join our club to discuss their services and bring some blades for us to purchase.
April Kirk will show us how he has learned to use scrollsaw patterns to inlay the designs using carpet pieces. Very pretty.
We need some ideas on demonstrations. Please give those to Faye or Jo Ann
