|  I don't know if it was an accident, but the way you chose increasingly closer grain as the petals moved to the center of the rose gave it a magnificent perspective. What a splendid representation! With that sort of instinctive feel for wood, you really must try your hand at marquetry.  Gill

| G'day Bobbi, If you would like my honest..................... really honest opinion.................................... it's bloody marvellous. That has got to be one of the best looking pieces I have seen. It just all falls together nicely. Congrats on great piece.

| Sorry Bobbi, After seeing the rose with a light background I have to take back what I said about it.  Using the word "beautiful" is absolutely the wrong word. Beautiful doesn't even come close to what that amazing stunning work of art is. I would have to agree with John. The simple elegance of the rose, enhanced by the black background. Next time Trout enters his work in a show, you should enter your rose. Might break his ribbon streak!

| I gasped... Definetly a true work of art. As others have said, great use of wood grain, and I think it looks great on the black background. The whole thing just makes me step back. Wonderful work!!

| Thank you again for all the nice comments. They encourage me to continue learning the fun art of scrolling. I still have a lot to learn and a lot more practice needed before I can even come close to the wonderful artwork so many of you are able to produce. Thanks again, Bobbi |

 | I have to agree with the others - your use of the grain of the wood is terrific! The black background really makes the rose pop! You should be proud of this piece - it is really outstanding! Cathy |

| Wonderful job Bobbi. I love the frame that the rose and plaque are hanging from. Did you make that too?
