It Satisfied My Soul No. 29

End grain turned bleached maple, pattern drawn free hand, and made permanent with a woodburning tip. The negative space and removal of the rim was done using the NSK Presto, followed by a LOT of careful hand sanding of all those edges. Color is pearlized blue acrylic, hand-painted.

Dimensions 5.75 " wide by 5.5 " high.

This was finished last week, just a few days before a show that happened over the 3-day weekend. What looked like to me would be a 'meh' show, in the last 15 minutes before closing ended with the sale of this piece, and frowns turned upside down. :-)
How thin did you get this Donna? I have challenges with NSK and thickness! More like a burn fest! Nice final piece!
This piece is not as thin as some of my Soul Series works. I would say this was a fat 3/16". Anything that thickness is pierced in stages, or multiple passes working my way down until it clears the other side. Trying to get it cut with a single pass is only inviting a blown turbine.
 
Like how you left some of the figured wood showing which is a nice contrast to the blue paint areas. Wonderful piece that any owner would be proud to display.
