The Canterbury Tales/segmentation

[Charlie E]

My high school English teacher always had the senior class memorize the first 18 lines of the prologue of The Canterbury Tales. Written in Old English, it is the story of a group of pilgrims on their way to Canterbury Cathedral. I included in the frame the line which translates, "Then folk long to go on pilgrimages" along with some nods to some things mentioned in the prologue, the rain, the wind, the sun, and singing birds. I'll be surprising Mrs. Hudson, my English teacher, with it soon. 

It is around 11" X 14", 3/4" alder wood, painted with acrylic craft paints with a spray clear coat.

This quite excellent !!!  I have not seen this style before and am extremely impressed.  The cutting is great and the choice of colors really brings out the details.   It is one of the top projects I have seen lately.

Thank you so much! This one took a couple of weeks but I really enjoyed it, most of the time.  Lots of different steps.

Thank you. This is a memory for everyone who had Mrs. Hudson. If you mention her name it will likely come up. Hopefully it will bring her some joy.

That is a beautiful example of segmentation.  Wonderful colors.

Your English teacher will be gob smacked, firstly because of your talent, secondly because you remembered her and thirdly that you were actually listening in class.
Exceptional work Charlie.
