because I painted it while 1 was watching the 1997 Super Bowl. The project was received very well, and Delta Technical Coatings decided to use it in one of their adverlise-ments. Recently, I again teamed up with Scroller and recreated the fish plaque in poster size, which we presented to Delta for them to keep. Coincidentally, the poster-sized bass was painted during the 1998 Super Bowl! 1 reaily didn't plan it that way, it just fell into my schedule like that.

Something new

Throughout fall and winter, I have been developing a series of basket patterns which I plan to market as pattern packets and kits. This is my first venture into mail order and 1 am very excited about it. The baskets were very well received at the Creative Painting show in Las Vegas at the end of February, and I am very encouraged by the response.

Each pattern packet will contain two sets of directions: one for cutting the wood and staining it, using simple scroll saw inner cuts to highlight and detail, and the other for silhouettes, with entry level scroll sawing and complete instructions for painting the baskets using acrylic paints. T feel that this will offer something for everyone—the more experienced scroll sawyer who does not want to paint and would thus rather stain the wood, and the tole painter who wants to begin learning the art of scroll sawing. For those painters and crafters who do not wish to saw, I will also be providing kits with the wood already cut.

I hope that these patterns and kits will help to further bring together the two worlds of scroll sawing and decorative painting, so that we can

all learn to appreciate and apply both art forms. I am hoping to bring to others the joy I feel when creating and sharing art with those around me. I find a great deal of satisfaction in creating something myself to give as a gift, or to sell. The best form of payment for me, as for thousands of fellow artists and sawyers, is the appreciation of my efforts.

I will be at Creative
