Hi Barry:
Your work is inspiring.
I like your way of using gold leaf volume. The fine rhinestones is great and enhances the beauty of their work .Although personally leaves me with pleasing volume.
*** This past year, I did some tests with shapes in volume. It is possible that in the near future, I decide to do some work with some composition with golden leaves in volume.
Thank you for showing your work, for the enjoyment of us all. Please continue you with your beautiful work.

Regards

i like the inlayed line "interaction" as i call it, on the rear-- it's like the lines are talking among themselves.

Hi Barry:
* I am aware that diamonds are not imitation.
Knife that category should carry genuine diamonds : Biggrin:
I do not speak English and use a translator.
It was a translation problem.

Regards and thanks for the words.
