MarquetryFull sized Medousa

We have teamed with a very well know Marquetry artist in Greece, Dimitris. Nobody as far as we know has attempted to do Marquetry on pen blanks.  

Marquetry (also spelled as marqueterie) is the art  of applying pieces of veneer to a structure to form decorative patterns, designs or pictures. The technique may be applied to furniture , to decorative small objects with smooth, veneerable surfaces or to freestanding pictorial panels appreciated in their own right.  

Marquetry differs from the more ancient craft of inlay or intarsia, in which a solid body of one material is cut out to receive sections of another to form the surface pattern. The word derives from a Middle French word meaning "inlaid work".

The materials for the Medousa marquetry are contrasting woods.
