For Boris

Willem Parel · Jan 6, 2014

Finished this for my sister and brother in law who's dog Boris passed away recently.
Made the name and the scrolls already one and a half year ago because in my assessment then, old Boris wouldn't make it that much longer.
But Boris kept going and going until last december.... RIP Boris.
Sorry for the poor picture, taken with my Ipad.

Boris would be proud.... very nice.

Very nice. I like the bouquet of flowers.

I had to engrave a similar plate for one of our cats that got run over a few months ago. Hardest job I've ever done. We still miss her.

Cheers
Andrew

That's really cool Willem! An exquisite job and kind gesture for your sister & brother in law.

Thank you very much Bama, Dimas and Andy, this was one of my first fully self designed scrolls and yes I am still a bit amazed I did it.
Now, one and a half year further I have more self doubt about my drawing skills, so looking at this design gives me the feeling I should continiue practicing, it's not that bad but it still is a struggle to understand good scrollwork.
So again, thanks for this boost...
