 I went my favorite Art Supply Store to buy all my materials... Artist Craftsman Supply on RT.1 in Saugus. They always have everything I need and great prices! Their customer service is Top Notch!

That's my proposed design is in the back.

I plan to cut out 300 paper leaves for my violin. A talented and generous friend, who happens to be a Metalworking Instructor, custom made these cutting tools for me.

This will definately help. Thanks Tom!

I've finished the layer collage.

I've been painting over the collage to give the leaves more depth and definition.
