The most time consuming thing I was ever involved in. More than 200 pieces

 

 

There's not a lot of short cuts involved in something like this. 

But it sure is pretty!

Although a lot of work, it sure is nice looking. 

I knew it would be a great piece when finished.  You just proved me correct...

Really super Jess, who is it for?

Cal

Beautiful work and colors. More patients than I have . Good job.

Herb

Awesome Job!

Love the flow of this and the southern belle should sell well in the south. Now you can do one of Scarlett and call it Gone with the Wind. Use the green curtain she made a dress from.

I forgot to mention since the colors are powder except the frame and are applied dry with my finger, it makes it easy to control and cheap. A rag or tissue can remove some if one wants light pastel colors.. These came from Hobby L in the painting section, well duh!!

Gerald, "gone with the wood" might fit better. Too bad I didn't think of her, pretty female, actually I do think of the pretty gals often. 

That's a bad excuse Herb. What do you call building the Harp???????

Intarsia is a painstaking exacting craft where every piece has to fit exactly or it shows up big time. My scroll saw skills are very minimal  And I don't have the patients to cut  and re cut pieces that don't quite fit. And duplicating pieces like you did in the corners so they look the same and are mirror images to boot. I am envious of you talent.

You did a beautiful job on that , I must say, and you have a right to be proud of your work.

Patch, If this is Bo-Peep, you forgot the sheep...

If not Bo-Peep, well then never mind and BTW absolutely a great piece of art!
