Butterflies
Just finished another picture. This one is of Butterflies (in case you can't work that out), and is 260w X 360h. Although I am finally starting to aquire some technical skill with Marquetry, there's still a long way to go. In the meantime, this one is going on the wall.
Now if I can only figure out how to take a decent photo of the work I'd be laughing.

Super work Chris - almost oriental..
You did say "starting to acquire some technical skill..." Sheesh, mate, I'd like to see what constitutes your view of "mastering" something

Thanks for the kind words Steve, however, I know my current limitations. I started marquetry about 18 months ago, and am learning by watching people who have been doing it for 30 - 40 years. The've mastered the art.......I'm still aquiring skills!!

Having said that, I can see the improvements over the last piece. So I'm like a pig in poo.
