Many years ago (10 plus) in an edition of Fine Homebuilding I found a photo-feature of decorative wood shingle designs (some geometric, some realistic, some abstract) that were installed on walls of houses. One that really caught our eyes was a Canadian goose done in white and red cedar shingles. We are using cedar shingles on a new home and have a large blank space above a two-car garage that is a perfect “canvas” for some creative shingle artwork. I tried looking in the archives but was unable to locate the issue that had this featured. Does anyone recall which issue that was? Thanks for any help…

I should add that if anyone knows of any other sources that describe patterns for creating pictures in shingles I'd appreciate that also. Thanks...
