    Default Metamorphosis

    zebrano wood, the idea was born about two years ago with the design, but I was not able to develop it, can be seen in many ways, the head of an alien animal that breathes through gills and attacks the old material, a bird of prey taking flight, I was looking for is a movement made ​​up of shapes and colors, the combination of natural vein of the wood and the hand of man that values ​​matter
    sorry for my bad english
    comments and suggestions very welcome
    thanks to all

    That is a very striking bit of work. Can you give us an indication of it's size? It can be rotated for different moods. Excellent

    the bowl is only brushed along the grain and buffered with transparent matt acrylic paint with water, BUT first of all is soiled with black pigment to age the surface and create a contrast


    the gills are finished with the same water-based paint, the rest of the piece with several coats of sealer solvent and steel wool 0000


    nothing special trust me ..
