Title: I'm wanting to show this to someone... Post by Melissa on Feb 18th, 2010 at 3:35pm
I can't put it up on Facebook because the lady who will be getting it as a gift I am friends with. It's an eagle head on cherry and I just grouted today. Still needs cleaning up and sealing, but I just had to show somebody!

Very nice, Mel. Is the mosaiced part raised from the surface of the wood, or did you recess it? I can't tell from the photo.

Very nice Mel. Post again when it's all done so we can see it completely finished.

Thanks Bill. The tiled part is raised up. I glued the tiles onto mesh first and then to the wood. Carol thanks!. I would do that, but the only thing that will change is it will look cleaner, lol. :) |

This kind of thing gets to me. I have all the art aptitude of fire hydrant and am insanely jealous.
I like it Mel. Charlie |

Thank you so much Charlie & Beth. I wasn't sure if it would turn out right as making something like an eagle is intimidating to me.
Anyway, you all are family so I figured you'd put up with me. :D |

Nice Work! :) |

I am the same way and to be honest the pictures of Mel's work don't do it justice. I bought 2 pieces for family at Christmas and they were better than the pictures! |

Yes, it's not green wood. This particular one was dried for about a year. Quote:
Thank you. |
