I have a picture I want to set up on graph paper for a weave. It is a silhouette of a buck deer. I can't seem to get it right to where it looks like it should. Would anyone be willing to let me send them the picture and have them put it on paper for weaving and then send it back to me? Don't worry about the left list because I can get it down later. I'd like to do it in 50 threads or less. I mainly build light saltwater and bass rods but if the number of threads have to be somewhere around 50 or above I will put the weave on a different rod. I've been doing lettering and find that it is more difficult than weaving an image. It seems that I have to move the threads back and forth more often. Although, letters are easier to set up on paper. I would appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Steve

The way I do a pattern to have a certain number of threads such as your request for 50 threads, is to measure on the graph paper you are using, how wide 50 threads will be say 4" for this example. Then I play with the copy machine that will enlarge or reduce. Take your deer pic and enlarge reduce till its 4". Then put it under the graph paper and copy the outline, using a light table helps greatly( a glass table or piece of glass with a light under it. email me if you have more questions-good luck

If you are able to scan the picture to a computer, I find its very easy to adjust the scale using any of the compatible software. Just drag a corner so that you scale the lenght and width simultaneously and print it onto your graph paper. Works nice.
