Sam; That pendant kept getting better and better as I scrolled down. Thanks for the progression photos. Abigail must have quite a collection of engraved jewelery. I admire your ability and vision,to sketch that directly on the work without a transfer and have it turn out as it did. Thanks for posting.
Cheers
Don
Sam,
What's the difference in damascening and overlaying, like you show in one of your tutorials? Did you use wire or sheet for the gold?
Thanks
Todd
Hey Sam. how thick is the gold?
Sam,
I get the tutorial to a point. You chequered the background to get a "key" for the gold to hold.
You overlayed the gold and stoned it down smooth, you then drew the design and cut it.
how did you then remove the gold from off the background you then have shown in the finished article as black.
Do you cut it away with a flat??
Regards
Sam, do you use sheet gold or wire? And if it was sheet, what gauge was it? I am interested in trying this type of overlay.
Thanks
Mike
Yes it was sheet gold I rolled to about .008" thickness.
