I thought at first it was the background that i liked so much, but after i took a second look i like everything you did..it,s a beautuful piece of work..
I was looking at that background too. The horizontal curvy, deep, shallow, deep, shallow cuts along with the more consistent depth more vertical cuts somehow seem to give it a wavy look. I'm trying to figure out how that works. That whole thing sure does look AMERICAN doesn't it?!
Excellent J.C. I love the design of your scrollwork. It reminds me very much of the old bank note style of engraving, especially the wavey lined background.
Sweet! I love it! I'm trying to learn and trying to look at as much engraving as possible to figure out which direction I want to go in. Keep up the good work. Dwayne
