Another plaqueSigned sealed & delivered

This is what I was given to work from for my next Chamber after hours gift plaque.
 I give away one such plaque each month at the Mount Washington Valley's Chamber of Commerce , Chamber after ours meetings.
The winner was having this done for his wive (a school teacher) to hang in her Class room.
He also wanted to include the word "inspire".

So Off I go searching the web for images of apples. I find one that is pretty simple (just a line drawing) I import the drawing into my Enroute software, trace over the lines and then start building my relief files to give the apple some shape.
This image is after the piece is routed and primed, (I neglected to get any pictures of the process in between.( sorry!)

Then it's off to the "Kolor Kavern" (the name I have given the paint storage room in my shop)

• first the base coat (yellow)
• then the marroon applied like a glaze coat (brushed on and wiped off with a rag leaving more paint in certian areas.)

Some bits of green,yellow,red all blended in different quantities on a pallet for the apple, a touch of white for the sheen of light and finally the gold for the text.

Hopefully this will be an Inspiration to her Sixth grade students for many years to come.
