Cookies and Ice Cream
8"x 3/4", Mulberry, Walnut, Acrylic, Pyrography, Acrylic Paints

The platter is the mulberry and the cookie is a sandwich of walnut and white acrylic. The ants were burned on then their bodies textured with acrylic paint. The triangle pattern rim was done with acrylic paint. Unfortunately my camera didn't reproduce the colors in their true nature. What appears black is actually blue-violet.
The American Association of Woodturners encourages only one thing - woodturning! How the individual artist decides to use woodturning in his/her work is purely individual. In my case, sometimes I feature the wood and sometimes I don't. My designed for this particular piece was as a compromise. I wanted it to be representational of an experience that most people have had and yet remain slightly "crafted" in appearance. Therefore I left the wood of the plate and cookie show through the story.
