a sketch of half of a bracelet design.
I would like to be able to say that I am smart enough to run one of the drawing programs, but not at this time.
the sketch itself is ruff with lots or erase marks and scuffs, but I hope that you get the general idea.
I still want to change a few leaves and clean it up.....I think it works.:pencil:

It comes through loud and clear Shawn! That would grace any panel on most any object. There are a couple of very small areas where the lines could use just a bit of vorticity but otherwise I don't think I would change a thing.

Vorticity .... something else to worry about.
I will remove the 3 leaves in the upper left corner and add this one in their place

Maybe in Tennessee but not Arkansaw. That's one of those actual meteorology terms your tax dollars taught me long ago. Just thought I would broaden everyone's horizon...or try to sound smart...take your choice.

Some steel grips... something I can bring to the FEGA show
I polished the steel then engraved my pattern.
After engraving I masked off the pattern and bead blasted the remaining material.

So after rushing thru the grip last night I took a few minutes to touch up things.
I will remove the background and add an outside shadow

I think it looks much better now.

I used clear tape to mask off the engraving.
