H: 345mm W: 185mm
A three-veneer picture in walnut, willow and olive ash.
Having drawn the design, loosely based on an image from a magazine advertisement, I searched for quite a while before finding the figured walnut that gave sufficient contrast and dynamism to the image. I was pleased with the torso, which is a single piece of veneer and the silky texture really represents the skin tones well. She really is "willowy"!

H: 340mm W: 200mm
A three veneer picture in sapele, aspen and pear.
This picture started out as a photograph of a beautiful student from Wolverhampton College who was modelling her own clothing designs at a show at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham. I simplified and abstracted the photo through the computer before undertaking the interpretation in marquetry.
