Sycamore and butterflies

I had turned a sycamore bowl that I wasn't too happy with but Penny (my other half) got to work with the piercing and pyrography tools and came up with this. The thin section is about 1.5 - 2mm thick and the 'loose' butterflies are made from embossed, pierced and painted parchment paper. The edge of the bowl is textured with the Dremel

The piece is 8" wide

Regards

Paul
