Buena Suerte!


"Lucky Horseshoe Wall Hanging" ~Sold~

My friend loaned me his standing band saw and I LOVE it! This horseshoe was cut using it. I'd been using a jigsaw, but the band saw is much faster. I never thought I'd be a power tools girl, but I've really been enjoying crafting my own pieces from scratch. I'm no longer limited trying to find the base pieces that I want to paint, if I can dream it up, it most likely can be cut out! Also, thank goodness I have my boyfriend to help me when I'm overwhelmed with projects, he's very generous with his time (and much faster with the power tools than me!).

I love it! I have attempted to use a jigsaw to cut out special shapes to paint and decorate, but found it to be too hard to control. Many props to you for pulling it off! Yes, a band saw is also on my wish list!
I love the marionette, and would love to see what one you would make would look like!
Buena Suerta y muchas
bendiciones!

I'm absolutely in love with this wall hanging, Leila!

And it's wonderful that you can now do everything your inspiration wants, without being limited my what was available ready before!
