Wetland Cycle - A Collaboration Between Myself and Paul of Copper Pig Fine Woodworking.
The cherry sapwood down the center of this jewelry box forms such a perfect river that I had to honor that and go with a water life theme. The egret, the iris, and the fish all come together to depict the delicate cycle of the wetlands and how it is all interconnected. The tray is finished in platina shellac, the highest purification of shellac allowing maximal clarity, protection, and restoration in the far future as we hope this piece will be passed down between loved ones.
Thank you Paul for letting me put my heart & art on one of your gorgeous pieces. Paul is absolutely incredible at what he does and just the jewelry box alone is a work of art. So it’s always an honor to be trusted to add my woodburning to these pieces. The top tray can hold jewelry and other every day items but the velvet lined inner tray can hold them as well.
