ANSWER TO MYSTERY TECHNIQUE #44: This is the cover for a piece called Family Secrets. I used a Dremel tool to modify the shape of the central hole and to make grooves in the wood. I then added additional texture with an X-Acto knife and stained the surface with walnut ink and diluted acrylic. Next I glued a flat slice of walnut shell, which I cut with jeweler’s saw, to the watercolor painting in the center.
