Class Bundle options available to choose from above: Bundle options are available for printed packet, the beautiful alder heart handle tray, alder heart desk box, free shipping AND online class access. |
There are two bundle options for the wood pieces shown. Both of these pieces are made from alder. The large alder heart handle tray is 18 ¼ x 12 x 1 ½” tall. The floor of the tray is baltic birch. The complementary alder desk box is 10" x 8" x 2 ¾" tall.
A strikingly beautiful folk art style from the Tyrolean Alps. It can feature stylized animals, birds, flowers and grapes but I've never seen an old piece with people. Fascinating. Color-wise the contrasting use of white and a more intense blue lends a richness to the toned reds, browns and black more commonly used. Punctuated with dot edelweiss flowers this style resonates with techniques and color contrasts.
