So, now to the patterns!
Scottie Pot Ornament
Scottie Pot Ornament
A quick and easy Scottie to keep your plants company. Cut out of any rot-resistant wood.
The Evealle
The Evealle is my first foray into merging beads and woven boxes. This is a simple pattern, though to get good result it does require precise cutting along the corners. However, like most scrollsaw weave patterns, the actual weaves are quite forgiving.

Elk Animal Puzzle
This is my second animal puzzle pattern. I made it in anticipation of the Centerville 4th of July Show–The Centerville Elks.
Bull Animal Puzzle
This pattern is my first attempt at an animal puzzle. This type of puzzle was originated by Jim Sweet, who owns the trademark “woodimals”. Another designer is Harvey Byler. I plan on updating this plan as my skills get better.

Buckeye Butterfly Pattern
This is my second attempt at a butterfly (The dragonfly was my first). I tried to emphasize the four circles on each wing. I also drew a new, more realistic body for the butterfly.
(The image above is the first prototype of the sketched pattern; it will be replaced later with a newly-cut version)
Buckeye Butterfly (Junonia coenia) Pattern Ver 1.0.3
Dragonfly Pattern
This pattern was inspired by the butterfly patterns with angled wings. I drew this after I had several people look around at the butterflies and ask for a dragonfly. Although delicate-looking, the wings are surprisingly strong.
Dragonfly Pattern Ver 1.3

I really like your dragonfly and butterfly magnets. What a wonderful way to use those small pieces of BB. I have made 4 or 5 of the dragonflys for friends and even tho they don’t want their frige. cluttered, they love these and want one.

Hi,
I am still rather new to scrolling. I have downloaded and cut out the dragonfly from your pattern. May I ask how you hold the wings on while the glue dries? Thanks for sharing these nice patterns……..

Gary, originally I made a jig to prop up the wings until the glue set. Lately I’ve put Arlene’s Tacky Glue on the wing and a couple of dots of a gel-type cyanoacrylate (”super glue”) on the body. Press the two together, hold for 10-15 seconds, and they’re usually set. Don’t use too much cyanoacrylate or the joint won’t set. Just 2-3 dots should do it.

Hi kofte,
Thanks for the info, I was unaware of super glue gel working on wood. The wings attached great.
