Always had trouble finding patterns inlaid? If you are anything like me, probably one of the marquetry inlay kit - what a po 'like the painting of numbers, but with a few sheets of veneer, a knife and glue. They offer a good introduction to the art, but once completed, is not your first, where are you?

Recently I found a very good marquetry supplier locally and there are many others around the country. If you do not receive veneer inlaid locally thereMany mail order companies and online businesses, materials and tools for the supply of inlays. The only thing I found was inlaid patterns. I do not have the skills to design my own, and do not want to take my kit inlays, then, where can I find them? Note that I do, I expect these things free. If the problem, someone to produce models that are quite willing to go pay for it.

I am looking for a bit '. Typing "marquetry patterns"or even "marquetry designs" into a search engine, not very far, but there are alternatives if you think a little 'side and that's what it came with:

1. Scrollsaw Sites

I looked at several scrollsaw sites without much success, because even if one can use a saw to cut inlays that fit the nature of the model proposed is precisely because they are photos of "style" that look most of us. Then I discovered ScrollsawSegmentation.comwhose work is much more like a template inlayed. They are also very cheap. Although the segmentation is quite different, with raised and painted or colored pieces, you can easily see how the designs might be similar to inlays are used. You can also use the PC directly, so do not wait impatiently for the post!

2. Intarsia Pattern Sites

Many of the models on Scrollsawsegmentation.com really intarsia plans from a website called IntarsiaDesigns.comwhich also provide immediate download. Again, it is easy to see how to translate with inlays and there are a number of themes to choose from.

3. Clip Art Sites

There are many, many clip art sites and while I could not find complete "pictures" which suited what I wanted to do, just a little ingenuity to combine different elements into a picture together. Maybe not create the pattern inlays naturalistic way, but good for caricature orCartoon art, especially if it is his drawing ability that I have limited!

4. Software

A friend of mine is a graphic, a software program called Adobe Photoshop is absolutely necessary for the processing of photographs brilliantly used. I think it's quite difficult to learn and use, but if you have a version is already installed on your computer, why not give it to walk. Another program that his life as something of colored glass for the leaders, but is also very popularwith intarsians and marquetarians of ConnectedLines.com. In their own words, "The Connected Pattern Maker that are easy to learn and fun software program that allows you to use models of art unique line from digital photos, scanned images and clipart images' to. I have not used it myself, but appears to be the trick.

5. Good old tracing paper!

In these days of PCs and digital scanners, it is easy to forget a good old tracing paper. TakeImage and track the different areas of color. If you do not want the tracing paper as you can reverse the pattern carved on a piece of plain paper and rub her back, just to mark the pin to be used to transmit a clean white cloth. It takes a little 'practice to get good, but you can start with simple pictures and more complicated things like trust more. If you are interested you can find photos more than ever the workneed books that can borrow from the local library or online, and if you have a scanner, you can use your computer to resize, if you need. To make sure that they are not protected by copyright.

Well that's it. Five ways to think that many inlaid patterns for a few dollars to go to school! I hope one of them will have with all deliveries until hopefully someone will actually be able to start its own pattern of inlay website.Now there's an idea ... if I could use only.
