You thought right, Barry,

These photos are more than enjoyable, they are inspiring in every way! I can imagine holding the object, first with eyes closed. There would be so much tactile information to absorb through the fingers, an encrustation treat, with multilevel treatment, gem settings and twisted borders. Opening the eyes would be a further treat, seeing the heavy texture is composed of diamonds, gold, all crafted impeccably by a set of famous Hands. Unquestionably, Ron Lake, has presented a wonderful canvas to inspired the ornamentation.

Well done both!

That's a killer piece, Barry! Fantastically rich treatment. Nice diamond setting work, too!

Thanks Rod, your comments, as always, are eloquent, thoughtful and descriptive.
Sam, thank you so much. I feel privileged to work on such fine knives and I try to pull the most I can from them.

Barry, I like it. Your style is evolving and it's fun to watch. How much of Alexandre's class are you using in the stone setting?

Incredible work.

 

[Barry Lee Hands]

Thanks Andrew, yes, stones are fun.
Hi Chris, you are almost as eloquent as Rod,hehe, thanks for the comments and understanding of what I have been trying.
Thanks Mrthe, I know you have seen a few.
Hi Lee, thanks.
Alexandre Siderov's stone setting instruction changed a lot of the things I do. He has a refreshing way of looking at work, from all directions.
Thank you Titian, I am glad you liked it.

Very nice Barry. They have diamond coated fry pans (sothey say)and nothing sticks to them. So I guess nothing will stick to that toothpick either:biggrin:

Thanks Mike, I bet that's true,hehe
