Robert Tinker, African Adventure (Art & Accessories)

Intarsia mural: pattern designed initially by Judy Gale Roberts but some modified animals in this version. The original owl had no talons and the wing configuaration didn't look right; the African parrot needed individual feathers, the baby elephant of the original was replaced by another Judy Gale Roberts pattern leaving a gap which I filled with my own design of a purple crane. I replaced the original giraffe face with another Roberts design from a separate pattern, modified the fruit bat into an epauletted bat, modified the dragonfly and used stone to get the head colour for the bee eater. All the colours are natural timber with a coating of Danish oil. This mural will be incorporated into a glass topped table eventually.
