Chess with Mythographs
This Table is based after a visit to the Museo Nacional de Arte in Buenos Aires. I found a book about Mitogramas from native populations in South America.
Ludo Board v2
This table was done for Lucille's granddaughter - Dalia. Lucille is a wonderful relative of ours who became really close during our stay in the Boston area.

Dec 3rd, 2017: It is finally done! I spend so much time with this table. Today I played with two of my kids and we had a great time. Please see this website to see who is the artist who drew the board (http://www.kenrolsto
May 9th, 2017: Today I started burning this table. It is based on a very cute version of the original board. I will have to work hard on the shading! Colors perhaps?
"The Great Wave off Kanagawa" by Hokusai (1830)
This is a new project - an end table with the famous painting on top of it.
I think i will try using shades and not colors for this one.
3/13: Done! I decided to draw Hokusai's self portrait. Next step is applying lacquer!!
3/9: Done! Now I will make the boats slightly darker and start thinking about the detail in the lower shelf (a small version of the mountain?)
3/8: I just finished the dark stripes and they are beautiful thanks to joy's advice!
Next step is adding a slightly lighter tone to the other stripes.
3/3: finished the shades and moving forward with the dark shades within the waves. If successful won't need to color the picture...
2/28: I just started the burning, and I am currently adding the shades around the waves' "fingers".
