I think your technique is not engraving but repousse and chasing

No, you are right - it's not hand engraving - but it is just as difficult as the best engraving when carried out to this level...

Hi Everyone,
Thank you very much for your kind posts. As a matter of fact although it is right that the techniques used are repousse and chasing used by chisel and hammer but I use the word engraving as a general word for all styles we do in Iran which little by little I post my other work especially what you call " hand engraving". The techniques are really difficult especially that the cigarette is separated from the same copper sheet.

My air graver with the tungsten piston is a very good tool to use on my low relief reposse. Many tiny blows add up quickly. I only use 2 sizes of rounded gravers and one fine chisel style. My backer is a blob of thermo lock.<br><br>
your work is amazing, to use just a word. by whatever name, your work is welcome here. thanks for sharing it.

at 1.5mm thickness, i would think that reppousse would not be the technique here..
maybe at the crudest level (not saying anything about the work here
looks like a mixture of sculpture (chasing) and engraving...

The Capitan is one of my lovely works which of course I mad some final amendments on it and will send the final work soon. Thanks to all.

The thickness is exactly 1.5 mm and this is the technique which we use to make such volume out of it. My new work is done on 1 mm which when finished I will put it here. One of the techniques is repousse.
