Marquetry (woodcut) challenge

[Judi A]

There was a feature on our local Public TV Artbeat show about the art of Marquetry.

Marquetry is the art of piecing together thin wooden veneer shapes to cover a solid surface to create a picture or design.

To see more examples for ideas go to http://www.marquetry.org/what_is_it.htm

I did this one in a hurry out of clipart

What happened to Judy's challenge? I was just starting to work on something, well, I've started and deleted three times so far. I thought that would be a great challenge and was looking forward to the posts.

It's gone a bit new age.

Ok, my mistake. I didn't recognized this should be also a challenge for this place.

I started working on it, as well! Looks like a great possibility for a challenge.
Any chance?
I like yours, salaam! The ripples are an excellent touch.

Salaam, that looks good. Dal, that is a neat idea for a Father's Day card, very father & son looking.
