Designing woman
So I’ve picked out some designs from a clip art book I bought for the purpose. I think this is going to be the one I try first.
It’s only got 7 pieces, and I think it will probably easier to start with straight lines only. My plan is to use some of the white MOP on the crossbars, and abalone (not sure which yet) on the square. I haven’t decided what to put it into yet; I still need to make some sawdust. I think for the first outing, once I get the shell pieces I’m going to pick through and look for the least lovely pieces for the first try. No point in wasting the good stuff on a rough draft.
I picked out some other designs, too, for starter projects, and I’ve got the multiple copies of them made. According to my sources, I need to get some spray adhesive to stick each piece of the design directly the shell, then I’ll just sand it off after.
I’ve got an e-mail out to the supplier of the green abalone and the MOP, who is in Australia, asking for an ETA on my stuff. No answer yet.
