FLOWER GARDEN
This pattern is copyrighted by John
& Sheila Polhemus. Shown from both sides is this lovely, delicate
piece. The pattern is suitable for both hanging and standup versions
(shown with tabs to insert into a base block). The standup version is
suitable for display on a windowsill, mantle, or other shelf surface, but lends
itself best where there is a back light source. The piece could be done
without the tabs, with hanger added, to hang on a light or dark colored wall
depending on wood color, or in a window area.
The dimension of the body of this piece as shown is 5
1/2" by 5 1/2", minus the tabs. The wood used for the above
piece is a highly Figured piece of Sycamore Wood, in a 1/4"
Thickness. It's tabs fit into a base block which is 3/4" Thick by 7
1/2" Long by 2" Deep with gently sloping sides and rounded ends.
I gave this piece to my mother for her birthday in
2004. In 2007 I had a Commission Sale for this work, which I did in
nicely Figured Grained Apple Wood for both parts. That one is owned by Terri
Shelburn of Granite Falls, NC.
THIS PIECE ADDED FALL 2007
