Made A Changing Maple Leaf From Green To Red

[Dan]

i took this box that i had and made a maple leaf using green colored glass/stone and red glass/stone. i used a flat light green because i wanted it to feel like the summer was fading and was being replace by the more vibrant fall. it turned out ok but without more years of experimenting to learn a few tricks to poping the color. just the first step of many.

 

sorry for the picture wasent happy enough with this to build a light box and do it right so the photos are a little faded.

Great work on both the box and the inlay

[Dan]

ehhh the box is a early work has several problems thats why i never sold it. but with the inlay i should be able to sell it off without hurting my concous. thank you though its a early project since i hadent worked with the mini router much and hadent done a inlay doing picture yet just decrative patterns on the rim of bowls and vases.
