I opened the Engraver and was enthralled by Jim's work. I have seen glimpses in the past but never appreciated it as I now do. Well, well, well done. The wonderfully simple or simply wonderful designs are world class by any standard. Thanks for the article and photos. When I get some time I look forward to absorbing your website and tutorials.:clapping:

I haven't seen a whole lot of Jim's work but I have been a fan for eons!!
how one can utilize simplicity to achieve such extraodinary results is a mystery to my mind. anything i've seen done by him is just mysteriously beautiful, mesmerizing work.

I bought a couple of more traditional books in another style from Jim Kelso a while ago.
Then I searched online for photos of his work. I was amazed. His work has opened up a whole new world of art for me.

As a jeweler going on my 28th year, I always love to find work that makes me say "how on earth?". It happened to me in the New Orleans museum when I was 12 looking at a Faberge egg. The older I got, the less that happened. And then I found you guys! I'm astounded now at least once a week.
I'm also a huge fan of Jim Kelso's work. His article as well as those from Rod Cameron, Lee Griffiths, David Riccardo, Fred Bowen, Tim Wells, Roger Henrichs and Andrew Biggs' coverage of Reno add up to a fantastic issue of The Engraver.
