Just finished a new rosette. All natural wood colors-- macasser ebony, gaboon ebony, maple, basswood, jarrah, walnut. I'm happy with the way it came out, but I may change the center tile mosaic on the next one to smaller mosaic tiles. Thanks for looking. Attachment: rose2.jpg Attachment: rose1.jpg

Very nice Marc, I actually like the larger tiles, they give a better impression of the method of construction, something I always like in handmade things. Colin |

I'm with Colin. The large tiles give it a really clean look. I wish it were my design. |

Nice design. I bet it reads well from a distance. |

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate the replies and kind remarks. Colin and Clint, I'm really glad you like the 1mm tile size, I'm thinking I'll stick with it now. |

Marc, here's another nod to the larger tiles. I think the boldness is what you want with the otherwise dark coloration. And the remark about looking good from a distance was well said. Steve |

Marc, Great rosette! I concur with the others regarding the size of the tiles, I really like the bold look especially from a slight distance. The only thing I would do differently would be to send one of the herringbone borders in the other direction, which would give a slight bit more movement to the overall design. Great work! |

Thank you Steve, Joshua, Anthony. I'm really feeling good about the larger tiles now with your comments. Joshua, I’m glad you mentioned the wheat direction. I thought about it for a while --clockwise, counterclockwise, inside one direction, outside another, it was almost a coin flip. The same direction seemed to draw it together more and give it more continuity, opposite directions was more lively, as you say, gave it more movement, dynamics. I like both, the next one I’ll try opposite directions. |

Thank you Mike for the very nice comments, and the ultimate compliment of asking to buy one, whether you're joking or not. Unfortunately I'm way too slow at making them, I can barely supply myself. |
