It's *♥*Etsy Finds Friday*♥*
Today I am featuring the
Fantastic Wood Art
Created by:
Darlene Janora
Darlene Janora's artwork is a form of Intarsia which translates to wood mosaic. She starts
with a single piece of wood. The picture is drawn directly onto the
board. Then each piece is cut, sanded, shaped and painted/stained and
glued back together. Shims are applied to certain areas to give it a 3-D look.
This
wonderful Wood Artwork that Darlene has created caught my eye
and captured my imagination the minute I saw it! Her pieces are bright
and happy, very special. Enjoy!
In the Artist's Own Words:
I started the art of
scrolling about 13 years ago. I am self taught through books and
videos. I have seen many pictures of Intarsia and decided I liked it
best however, I prefer bright coloring as opposed to the natural wood
tones. So I combined acrylic painting using the wood as my canvas. Some
people make a strong point to mention that their work is all the wood,
no painting or stains. I personally think the bright colors are more
appealing on some pieces. It also takes an extra step and some
paintbrush skills are needed.
Another hobby of mine is learning fun facts, that I share with you in
some of my listings. I hope you find them interesting and entertaining.
Parrot Love Birds Wall Hanging
Appx 12H x 13W
True love. The lovebird has one mate for life, and they like to snuggle.
So cute aren't they?
Angel Wall HangingAppx 13h x 11w
I love the fact that she has no face. She passes no judgement.
Tree Frog Wall HangingAppx 11 x12
The tree frog sleeps during the day. It is thought that their eyes are
red, so when awoken by predators when their eyes open that it startles
them and gives the frog a change to get away.
Hummingbird Wall Hanging
5H x 10L
There are seventeen species of hummingbirds in North America.
Hummingbirds flap their wings 50 to 200 times per second. Generally the
faster time is in courtship. They can fly up, down, right, left,
backwards, upside down and even loop-de-loops! Amazing!
