Silhouettes

Here's an example of where an experiment with one of our early Senet boxes led to a surprising result.  We painted the crane images on bare, untreated pine using egg tempera, and THEN applied the stain.  The paint itself was stripped off, leaving somewhat ghostly silhouettes.  This technique needs perfecting, but we were very happy with the results, despite the loss of the original colors.
