Oak-Eagle Finished

Well, I finished this about two weeks ago (just never really felt like posting, though). It looked nice (-ish), but I got kind of tired of it because it took so long. I guess I should learn to go faster with things. . .

The eagle is colored with stain, the oak leaves with yellow and green dye, and the feather and acorns were painted (as I don't have very many colors of dye). Of course, most of the background and the basket weave is colored with stain too. I finished it first with watered-down Tan Kote (Fiebing's) and then, because I wanted it to be water-proof as well, with a layer of RTC (Bee Natural finish is the best!)

By the way, I think this picture is a little blurry, which makes it look slightly better than the real version. . . Oh well.

It is a masterpiece.
And I am not flattering you at all.

I am an internationally published and exhibited artist.

Exhibited in Japan in 1983 and published by the Unicef and Johns Hopkins University's Communication Center between 1984 and 1990.

I am the first artist to paint the Metamorphosis of the HIV in the T-Cell in 1993 and collected by the USAID in Nigeria. I also painted the "Love Virus" on the explosion of the HIV in the blood cells.

Your art work of the eagle is worth collecting anywhere.

Oh, by the way, I did not design the eagle or the oak leaves/acorns. I just designed the layout, etc. . .
