The China, 1996
Inlay and Guitar by Larry Robinson
Larry began this personal project in 1988. The delicate brush and ink landscape was painted by Lampo Leong, a graduate of the Guangzhou School of Fine Arts in China. Note the subtle cloud patterns painted on the back, and the dragon that contains over 1800 separate hand cut pieces. Each scale on the dragon is engraved with about a dozen marks, and three different colors of ink were used to fill the engraved lines. The red flames are translucent red Plexiglas, silver painted on the underside so the light bounces off the bottom and gives a muted glow. On the front, the figure on the peghead is Bishamon- ten, the Buddhist “Guardian of the North.” The fingerboard dragon is the inverse image of that which is on the Martin China Dragon guitar (using Dixgold, however, instead of the real thing). The ebony tuning keys have raised calligraphy on each surface, representing the 12 animals of the Chinese Zodiac. Larry estimates that the total time spent on this guitar is in the thousands of hours.
"Black and White Pisces" themed cake by Wolfbay Cafe
Here is a birthday one I did using ALOT of details with royal icing.
The cake itself is a black/white marbled cake covered in black modeling chocolate. My vanilla buttercream fills each layer.
The whole top centerpiece is done with royal icing. The Birthday girls requested a cake for a "Black and White" themed party, incorporating their Zodiac sign "Pisces". I used some drop flowers for the front and alot of wavy, flowing designs all around the cake.
If you look closely, you will see in the front of the bottom tier, I've added the Pisces constellation pattern with some silver dragee's. The top banner was made from gumpaste. I brushed most of the royal icing deco with silver luster dust, after spraying it lightly with black airbrush paint.
