The Magic of Wood-graining

Some of you have wondered what I've been up to so I thought I would post pictures of some of my work:

To begin I painted the door a pink color and then proceeded to work with stains and sealer to achieve the look of wood, working from the innermost part of a door and then out from there.

This was a sample that didn't make it.  I lost the work because the gold highlights were too bold.  But, I like it!  I think it's very french.  ©2011 Studio Deeba

Sample of stone above to real stone below.  Lost the bid because the sample was slightly darker...Easy change, but I lost it on this technicality.

Right now I am finishing work on the detail of another ceiling.  I probably have enough work for about 20 more days in Jakarta and then it is on to Minneapolis for the christmas Holiday.  I had hoped to see Bali but am not sure if I can.  So maybe a trip to Jobja will suffice.  :)  Later my friends.
