Let the Fun Begin!

Hi everyone-starting on my new Aavegotchi Intarsia creation titled "Farmer has a Farm". I have drawn the rough pattern for the farmer and have chosen the palate of woods . From left to right-Pernambuco, Holly, Purpleheart,Lacewood, Blue Mahoe, Pink Ivory, Wenge and Maple.

Got all of the pieces cut and assembled for the Farmer and am working on the shaping and texturing of each piece. Decided that the Farmer needed a Spirit Gem belt buckle. 36 pieces from 8 woods. To be continued!!

Hey Mike, how did you come up with this little guy?

[Intarsia Mike]

Thanks John--The Farmer is a character in my sons gaming platform-Aavegotchi. I am making these intarsia pieces to be offered on the platform as NFT collectibles in the form of special edition prints-'The Aavegotchi Intarsia Collection" by Intarsia Mike.

Made a little progress on my newest intarsia project. Got the pattern for the barn drawn and started selecting woods. Using Wenge for the roof. Holly for the trim and Redheart for the siding. 65 pieces so far!

The barn is amazing Mike. Looks like a 3D painting. The color, contrast and dimension are spectacular.

Mike, your patience for this level of detail is just amazing. I'm loving this barn. Brings back some great memories of days long ago.

[Intarsia Mike]

Thanks Dave-Brings back memories for me too. I enjoy the challenge of working with small, intricate projects like this.  I design these pieces as I go so there is a certain amount of trial and error involved but that is what makes it fun.
