We like to put a bird on it, damnit.

Our newest box: walnut with woodburned and painted top and base. It's a "Contrast" box with (hopefully) a good deal of contrast between the top and the inside (shown below). It's now for sale.

Below, some of my first efforts at a new technique- epoxy painting on glass. These look great with light behind them:  yet more birds at sunset, etched and then stained dark, with a goldleafed sun and covered with colored epoxy. Also, a sihouette of birds and branches, etched, stained dark, then covered with colored epoxy.  When I feel comfortable with this technique, we'll make some boxes using it.

So how did this epoxy painting on etched glass work out? Have you continued to use it?

I followed the link from the discussion on Etsy.
