Project Information

Perhaps the greatest challenge in marquetry technique to do figure of a young person or child .. and I could not resist the challenge.
I give it to my friends on LJ to evaluate the result.

The work is composed of approximately 400 inlaid wood details .. veneers used are: several types of veneer cherry, pear, wild pear, Indian apple, madrona veneer, veneer linden, maple, maple bird, walnut, olive etc.etc.




and video presentations, as well as the memory of this beautiful country of the Arabian Peninsula.

Dusan this is truly outstanding work. Skin tones, facial features, sparkle in the eye, all of these are so difficult to achieve in this medium, and you absolutely got it right. Masterpiece quality, and I love the video too. Keep making these outstanding artworks, we love to see them!

Terrific work and great adaption of picture. That is a fine piece of marquetry, well done. Do you work with a knife or a saw ? Portraits are difficult to do.

Thank you dear friends! Thank LJ on it that my work in the daily top 3.
Probably only through other eyes can be seen their own work.
I'm sure we all have the same satisfaction - if our hands, our tools and our materials from indeterminacy should create something. Something nice.
