Denise Dennstedt The beveled oval with the engraved parrot was the dictator in deciding what to make with all the goodies sent this round. I had toyed with the idea of making a birdcage in a room but decided that it would be too huge. So after looking through a bunch of books for inspiration, I narrowed down what it was that I wanted to do. I sat down with pencil & paper to draw out my design. The design process took the better part of a day. Bevel - In the center, painted first with Rub 'N Buff then Pebeo paints over it. Mirrors - Each mirror was cut into six triangle shaped pieces and they are near the outer border in the red area. White jewels - I used 24 of the jewels, 12 of them in the border and the other 12 are on the points of the red area. Glass - Spectrum & Kokomo I ran into some obstacles with painting the bevel and glass color choices but I feel everything fell into place nicely in the end. My parrot panel measures 19"x23" in the oak frame. |
