If you can wait for it, I can try to reproduce it with my curio and mail it to you!

What's a curio?

It's really quite small and there is a bit missing off the left hand bottom....it should be a swirl like the other side.  I am really happy to wait - it won't stop me from progressing....I'll message you!!

I have a Curio paper cutter. Check out the door hinges I did today in the Hygge House album!

I just found those!  They look amazing!!!

I messaged you Miranda but for some reason it's not showing up in my conversations.  Could you please let me know if you received it?  I have to run out now to take son for driving lesson but will be back later when I can double check size etc.  Thank you!!!!!!!!!

So weird. It never came through. I sent you a message as a test. Dis you get?

Not to rain on your parade but with that symbol being so small it might benefit from some simplification.  Maybe emphasize the medical symbol in the middle and lose a few swirls.   Just my 2 cents

You're probably right!   I'll see what Miranda can do! 

If you have an offer from someone with a Curio cutter (just learned about those here the other day, amazing!!!) definitely take them up on it. Otherwise I probably would have tried using Gallery Glass Liquid Lead - which is a black dimensional outliner for painted stained glass projects. But my first choice would definitely be the cutter!! 

Just thought I would share my results with the Curio yesterday. I dumped the photo Rebecca posted into my design program and mirrored the side that had the missing curl. Then I did a trace on it to get the outline. I had to adjust the pattern quite a bit to remove elements that were too small and thicken areas that were too thin. IT also took a bit to come up with the right setting that would cut through the paper but not rip it (The curio tends to drag a bit when doing these tiny designs). Overall I think it came out really well!

I did a test with black paper just to make sure it looked ok. Since it took a few sheets of black to get that right, I switched to using green to continue. Once I got the base done, I started working out how to stack the cuts to get more texture. I ended up outlining just the medical symbol and then outlining just some of the leaves on the ivy pattern. I added some extra texture with a quilting pin. The final would be cut from black and then painted with ink to cover up all the white parts. 

 

oooo I have a silhouette that I use for these kinds of things....good job!  This looks good!

This is so cool I just received my Circuit I hope it can do things like this . 

That is so fantastic!

That would have been a really good idea!  I went through a phase years ago using all that stuff - I've probably still got some!

OOoo....you'll have fun playing Nell!!!!

That turned out really great.  Soo many tools and toys...soo little time and money.
