This is the first Intarsia I have done. The orginal pattern comes from the Intarsia Down Under Book published by Steve Bundred of Byfield, ( near Rockhampton ), Queensland, Australia. Being artistically-minded myself I have added some additional Beer Bottles, along with the heading, in typical Aussie, " G'day mate, ' ave a drink. " The timber, ( lumber in your country ) is recycled oregon, ( Spruce, I think you call it ), with recycled Red Pine for the beer bottle, and plain pine for the deck chair. The drinking glass, & the two bottles behind the rear chair leg are made from recycled New Zealand Kauri, while the baseboard is standard 6mm, ( 1/4" ), pine plywood. Wording is painted on using standard Artist's Acrylic Black, & an Artist's brush.
I have since improved this Boozing Kanga Intarsia by adding some more beer bottles at the front, also made the heading a bit more personalized, by adding the name of the Australian Town the Kanga is being sold from, ( yes,- I do have permission from Steve Bundred to make these for sale ). Have sold five of these Boozing Kangaroos in the last six weeks, with more orders coming in.
Later on, ( when I have some spare time ), am planning to have a go at my own intarsia Australiana designs, as there's heaps of potential subjects here to select from.
