jumping from nib to burin....
Here's a plate of brass, ( 10X15 cm) that I engraved for a friend of mine( for his grand-parents' grave) .The layout was writen with an oblique pen holder . Since Doc Vitolo's thread , you know I fell in love with calligraphy and then I try to engrave my own writing following master Sam's instructions. His DVD on lettering is one of my favourites .
You can see many errors remaining , but I will practice both hand writing and lettering
i hope you will enjoy it !
