So while my husband is away at work ( Hes a ship captain for those of you who don't know) I find things to do to keep me busy. This is my latest creation, well the top of it. Its a 30"x 36"x 20" coffeetable, with a parchessi and cribbage game on top. I built the table, then drew on the design after which I used a wood burning tool to etch in the desing and then painted it with acrylic paints then varnished it.

I'll add the other views in a workshop.

It was a toss up to post this or the view of the Lake I'm looking at today..amazing sunny day with dark stormy clouds across the Lake in the USA...ahhh another day! Hope yours is going great!

Thanks for your visit!

Donna :o)

Hello Donna,
This is so amazing, very creative!
I don't quite remember what your artwork reminds me of, but it for sure is colourful and pleasing to look at; besides it must be extra fun to play on a board like this!

Hi Donna,
Another great post of your beautiful artwork. Attractive and bright, even from the thumbnail. Useful and beautiful, something that brings many smiles while playing, and even while dusting--how can you beat that?
I'm suspecting that you might put murals on the walls as well, although that might get tricky with the burning tool. If so, can we see your kitchen, too?
Great day,
Karen

Hello Donna
Of course, this is a pretty table for games and its color and brush drawings are very attractive.........but don't submit your map to a road engineer; too many accidents will occur!!
Cheers.
Robert

Cool! Very colorful! Artistic presentation. You could create other pictures that way, just for hanging on the wall.
Cheers
Otto
