Jali inspired plate

[holmqer]

Poplar Plate inspired by the Mughal Dynasty Jali that I saw in India at the Taj Mahal, Fatehpur Sikri and the Wind Palace. Pierced and airbrushed with waterborne lacquer finish. Around 8" (20 cm) across

Eric, that is very pretty. Must have taken a while to do. Very artistic.

As several folks told me the stand was annoying, so here it is with a less obtrusive stand

Congratulations on a gorgeous piece!

Yes, the stand was not allowing the blue to come out and getting in the way of the design so, good choice in doing it this way.

Apart from being beautiful work, the most interesting thing is the amount of time required to Dremel the whole thing in such faction, the thin blue edges are most effective and certainly a lot of work, congrats...!

Cheers

THAT IS PROBABLY THE BADEST(meaning super cool!) LOOKIN' PIERCING I HAVE EVER SEEN! OMG!!!! FABULOUS PIECE OF WORK, AND VERY WELL EXECUTED!

Thanks everyone, this was a lot of fun to make. Some of the piercing was done at a public demo at the Fuller Craft Museum then finished off a bit at a time over the next couple months as time permitted.

Fantastic!! Well done Eric. I have a piece that I have been working on for ages that I have yet to finish piercing, I can only do about 20 minutes at a time as it is so intense trying not to run into the next hole. I will post pictures if I ever finish it.

Eric...
