Before

and after.

Green and Black M.

A funny effect.

 

Marquetry Different

Quirky One

Quirky two.

Not quite so Quirky 3

Might have to do the doggie again.

But mounted them anyway 

Curves

 

Funny how you can see the patern in different ways. 

Two More Done

 

One more

 

Still learning. 

Third Crack

At last, an acceptable piece worth framing. 

Third Crack

So I won't forget cock ups,  failures on display

whilst I have another go.

Patience, Practice, Perseverance.

Second crack,

 after the first crack failed the quality check.

Back to Play Time

 Gek to a Penarth Pier front image in felt,

 

 

 me to the new marquetry station on an adapted shoe cabinet.

Marquetry - Somerset 01

 

Taking Gek's Somerset Patchwork paterns to create a marquetry equivalent. 

Compare and Contrast - Bird for Bird

 

Six more to go.

Somerset Patchwork, with Veneers.

Starting with a patern, 

asking Gek, my colourist,  to choise the colours  from my collection of coloured veneers,

use the double bevel cutting technique to creat the work,

starting from the centre.

M and E Efforts

Sturt's Desert Pea

Named after the batonanist charles Sturt, it is the flower emblem of South Austrailia.

A Galah.  This is taking some time. 10+ hours of stitching so far.

Marquetry Flowers

 The dyed veneers colour pallet, from which to make 18 Australian flowers.

Christmas Bells

Red Flowering Gum

Waratah

Somerset Patchwork Copy

 So much clutter for such a small piece which has 60 parts. But a good learning exercise.

Getting There

The Three Sisters delivered and installed. 

The Apostles in prep.  Created an in-house kit for the piece.

Completed New Stuff

An applique contribution for a  9 piece Ystrad Quilter's collective effort.  

Applique paterns used to make 9 marquetary  Ozzie birds.  Flowers still on going. Perhaps I could do the angels next 😀.
