Idea for a hand painted, wood veneer fabric, inspired by a sari...

                           Photos follow of a painted wood veneer which I'm in the 
                              process of making for my office, inspired by a sari....

                                   Explorations in colour and wood veneer fabric...

                                                           First was a sketch. 

Sketch of Sari, inspired by Lotus Eye
and partially to commemorate the marriage of
Vinod and Lalita in Hyderabad, may 2013
(the flowers..)

The first day_a 4'x4' 2 ply base, a piece of one-ply
fir flitch and gesso base for future colour

A few days later, with colour strip, trim and reveals
and flitch fragments

flitches glued in place_ a long
cumbersome process

Half the flitches glued in place and
test stencils

More images tomorrow.....
