New Projects! Marquetry Boxes and It's Back- The 2020 Advent Calendar!

 Good Afternoon Everyone!

I just wanted to share some fun new projects for 2021!  Marquetry Boxes and a much requested re-release of the 2020 Advent Calendar.  

I have been working on a several types of marquetry boxes.  Defined as...Marquetry, thin sheets of wood, metal, or organic material, such as shell or mother-of-pearl, cut into intricate patterns according to a preconceived design and affixed to the flat surfaces.  Now, these are not the AMAZING boxes made with different types of specialty woods however, when you ink, paint, or stain the wood pieces they are pretty special.

For my boxes, they are so fun to make!  I was telling a friend I always say that.  But honestly they are so fun to make.  I inked my wood pieces with Archival ink as it is so fast to get color on them.  I blotted the inked piece,  then with a paper towel added glue to the back and adhered it to the matching pre-engraved area on the lid.  Rinse and repeat...Last, I used a furniture wax to seal and bring out the gorgeous colors.

Here are the Marquetry Boxes...
