Second practice realisation. This technique uses multiple dyed veneers to achieve the different colour gradients and effect, thus the selection of veneers are important. The pieces are getting smaller and harder to cut accurately.

For years, I have long wanted to do marquetry realisations of Chinese Peking opera masks. I was fascinated by their range of designs and colours. Each pattern could mean something and even the colours could represent an emotion or a feeling. I never had the skill set nor the know-how to even start attempting to create a marquetry version of one. Up until now.
I am no expert but from what I gather, this mask represent a character by the name of ‘郑子明’ or ‘郑恩’, - A general of the Song Dynasty.
This piece allowed me to explore incorporating different materials. I used bone (for the jaw), brass (for the forehead) and mother of pearl (for the eyes and lips).
This was a very complex design to work on and was glad to finally complete it. This marks the end of my training in Paris and the start to my marquetry realisations.
First marquetry practise realisation. A combination of 'element-by-element' technique and sand shading.
First week of training and it has been nothing but amazing. It was great to discover a new skill, learn new techniques and to push my limitations to a higher level. I started cutting various shapes and sizes to practice the form and to see what kind of tolerances I was dealing with. (not very much!) My best friend was a big pot of animal glue that is always on the stove. The pieces are getting smaller as the week progresses, and the tolerances become next to nothing.

Rebasing one commit over another with git
Git rebase has a handy option for transplanting a particular commit over another. It’s called “--onto” and in contrast to rebasing alone has the capability to rebase in a more granular manner, i.e. rebase particular commit only and not the whole branch which is the case with rebase by default.
An excerpt from git manual shows the transition:
Before rebasing with “--onto”:
o---o---o---o---o master \ o---o---o---o---o next \ o---o---o topic
After:
o---o---o---o---o master | \ | o'--o'--o' topic \ o---o---o---o---o next
The actual command:
git rebase \-\-onto master next topic
Unstaging commited files in GIT
Unstage all files from most recent commit:
git reset --soft HEAD~1
SSH access to Azure DevOps repository
By default cloning a repo hosted at Azure DevOps will fail with:
Unable to negotiate with <Azure IP> port 22: no matching host key type found. Their offer: ssh-rsa. fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Azure DevOps is offering to authenticate with ssh-rsa which is considered insecure and was deprecated in OpenSSH ver. 8.8.
To override this a workaround is required by adding following entries to ~/.ssh/config:
Host ssh.dev.azure.com HostkeyAlgorithms +ssh-rsa PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms +ssh-rsa
