How I do what I do...

Here's an older piece I made of Bob Marley, with progression pictures along the way:



So here it is. All the pieces are now cut up (using a scrollsaw) but assembled on a backing board. Took me a couple hours to draw out, and about 8 hours to cut it all up. I then take out pieces and paint them individually, one color at a time, then reassemble them after they dry. It's a slow process, but it works for me, and I don't have to number the pieces, just have to do a bit of a puzzle to keep it assembled. then I just glue it all together, and move on to the next one.














Once it's glued, we get the kitchen table back for a few days....
