side progression

I've been working on the side of my sideboard. Designed a mariners compass . I painted a square area and glazed it to create the parchment effect to use as a background. I cut a stencil from my drawing to lay the compass design in the square. Then I added a dimensional border and a red second border with the lignt diagonal striping. I don't know if I will add a thin strip in ochre or just grain the red edge. Have to think about that.

Dan's been working on a Milk safe with black stenciled designs on a distressed red background. click images to enlarge
