Southwest Mimbres Art Cabinet

Yes, I did another one!

We bought this cabinet for some friends of ours as a house-warming present and I painted it for them to order. They picked the Mimbres designs and I painted them on. Mimbres Art

Here's the TOP:



The two SIDE PANELS:





And the FRONT:



I had a great time doing this one. I thought the black and white would be boring, but it turned out very nice. I can't wait for them to see it.

Thanks. Here are a couple larger pics. It's just hard to see the details that way.

Our friends just picked up this cabinet and they absolutely LOVED it! I am so pleased.

As he should. Was it all free hand? It's amazing either way...

Thanks.

I made my own stencils for the small lizards on the front and the horned lizard on the top. The others, I drew free hand on the cabinet in pencil and painted. This piece is kind of rough-hewn in places so the texture made it hard to be precise, especially for something as small as the lizards' on the front.

nice work, BH, very nice,,,,,how could they not LOVE it
