Clearing the Field

Desk cleaning veneer

It always takes me lot of time clearing my work surface after a bout of “flowers and leaves”. (the last bout was knitting needles and a few new earring.) There are always little bits of cane that are to small or slightly damaged that I find it hard to through into the scrape piles.

This is the idea that I came up with today. I laid down a thin layer of a neutral green and arrange the bits on it, I even did a flew slices of odds and end that I had not lain flat. I press the slices down with my fingers and rolled the whole thing flat, first with my acrylic roller and  then through the pasta machine. Here is the veneer that I created. I might take a little more care next time. It will look a little different when it is cooked – I will do a before and after when make something with it.
