After seeing another engraver do a art nouveau style girl I had to try one, I like the way his turned out better, but this was my first try at a face. And I did this on the front of a silver half dollar I had.

I am a big fan of Art Nouveau design. Last Wednesday my wife and I visited the Cincinnati Art Museum for a special exhibit of Art Nouveau. I highly recommend it to anyone in the area. It is free and open to the public until 1/17/2010.

As I looked at these beautiful creations I was reminded of the work of forum member James Miller.

Looks good Kevin, I think Daniél "pushed" you a bit dough???:big grin:
Its indeed like Roger said a beautiful style.
I think the eyes are the most difficult part to cut, looking at those eyes and also the one has Daniél engraved.
I thought Joseph give the advise to practice only eyes and noses on a practiceplate and I think he's right, it will improve portrait engraving.
A lovely lady!! thanks for showing.
