Shawn, I would like to express my utter amazement in the shading of this bracelet. Assuming that there is no Photoshop magic or spotlight highlighting you have achieved something quit extraordinary. The three flower montage in the center is shaded in such a way that they are a different color that the surrounding scroll work. The daffodil is definitely yellow, the sun flowers are a different shade of yellow. The other flowers throughout the scroll work not so much but the centerpiece is quit extraordinary. I have experimented with changes in shading and angles of cutting and density of shading cuts for a long time to create color in black and silver. Mostly look like a hodgepodge of cuts. congratulations on something very special. Now if you can repeat the colors in other works what a marvelous achievement. Fred

I was in new mexico a few weeks ago and gave a brief talk about how I view scroll design and my method toward shading.
one of the forum members that was at that class was stewart w....aka(bronc).
you might ask him what he thought about my views and thoughts about design and shade.
I don't do anything different than anyone else.....maybe just explain it in a different way.
sometime in march I will be teaching a class on scroll design and shading...as time gets closer I will give you a date and more info about the class if you are interested.
again thanks for your kind words
