Releaf VIII
Wood: NZ Beech sp?
Length: 290mm (11 -1/4")
Thickness: 4mm
First piece for the year!
This piece is very similar to my last releaf . Someone fell in love with releaf VII after it was sold at our last exhibition so I suggested I could make another with some changes and send photos when finished.
The main leaf is airbrushed green instead of blue and I pierced the centre forming a leaf pattern rather than just having a hole. It was my first go at piercing and I think it worked out ok but it would have been easer if it had been about 2mm thick instead of 4mm.
The piece of wood had a few bug holes in it, I had thought of filling them but decided to leave them, which would give the piece more character.
Comments welcome.
