Dino-Mite! for fellow viewers of TV Land. . .
O N W O O D — Creating visual pieces as I do on flat wooden boards, it wasn't a stretch to go 3D. I like to create unique looks on furniture also. Created for a friend's young son, this is a distinctly dinosaur themed 6 drawer dresser. This is a photo of the piece very close to being finished. You'll notice I worked in my patchwork painting style, along with scanned printouts of various dinosaur renderings I found. I'm especially happy with the way the 'skin' turned out. I found a very closeup photograph of some reptile skin, and enlarged it to wrap around the drawer surrounds and add a great look to the piece. Gold leaf paint was used on the drawer pulls and the entire piece received several clearcoats of polyurethane for durability and strength.
THIS IS THE ONE THAT I TRULY LOVE.
