New Dremel attachment!

I just got an new and fun attachment for my Dremel. This attachment makes small straight cuts through wood. I was looking for it because I was hoping to take my resin blocks and put them behind the piece to add more depth. I work primarily on wood block frames and since I have been working in encaustic lately, and since the epoxy that I use to stick the resin to the block would not stick to the encaustic wax, I was looking to find an alternative.

I started with a piece I had finished, and it made a mess on the

encaustic. I was able to clean it off pretty easily. I didn't compensate for the frame of the piece and had to use a small saw to continue cutting thru the wood. This was a colossal pain, I will not make that mistake again. It's too bad that it

limits me on placement of the resin block. Here is a piece (right) were I cut the hole for the black first and then I'll have to create the piece around it. I've done this before but it will have to be the

norm for these kinds of pieces.

Finishing the back of the piece is still a work in process. I was thinking of just covering the back with another piece of wood that I could paint another color or keep natural. The other alternative is to get a piece of plexiglass to put behind the resin and keep the whole look clear. We'll see, tomorrow.
