Commission work 2

I think I'm getting close with Andrea's commission. Check it out. It's designed to match the other two pieces she bought (see earlier post), but I wanted a slight "Andrea" touch to it. While in Sonoma over Thanksgiving, I found two very cool old film reels at a thrift shop with my Aunt. Using a beautiful piece of hickory stair tread, naturally black-and-white (or dark brown and light, light brown) as the base I'm embellishing it with vintage 1960s movie stars and models from an Italian fashion magazine. I'm ready to start finalizing and gluing it up. What a great way to finish up a great year in art.
