It started out with a simple butterfly on curly maple…
I really liked the grain with the Ultradye, so I made a few more in different colors.
And then I decided if I my trip to work was now limited to going up the stairs, it might as well be a nice walk…
and it kept going…
and going…
I think I am almost there…

So great! Thank you for sharing.
When my daughter was little we had butterflies painted all over her room. If it was now, this is certainly the way we would do it.

Why does this make me think of the whirligigs in the Denver airport?
Your butterflies are MUCH nicer, though. AND you finished both sides of the stairs!

The work you’re doing with engraving color away from substrates is really cool.

@geek2nurse I hope no one makes anything that resembles Blucifer (the demon horse of DIA). Please, no!!
@shogun These look great! I started making some a few months ago and was supposed to send my friend a couple to play around with epoxy and they are still sitting here… oops LOL I better send them to her. haha (I’m allergic to epoxy so she will have to do it, lol)

Hey man, that’s a beautiful picture, and I’m not a cat person - It’s the relationship reflected there.

I am just South of Atlanta, GA so it depends on how you define close.
