Hi everyone!
Well, I think this forum is a good place to start showing pics of those 'rare' or not so common commissions one can get from time to time.
Many things can fit in this classification, from cheap to expensive, from fine to simple, done by beginners or by masters... what matters is that they are quite unusual jobs.
So, let's start with this one from a rooster I got last week. Of course, 'Richard' is the customers name (not the rooster's!) and the position of the plaque is also unusual: horizontal. Otherwise the rooster didn't fit in!
I found this work pleasant and curious.
(Size: 2x3 cms. Metal: 18k gold. Technique: bulino. Not inked (yet))
The second one, a frog called dendrobates, the most poisonous in the world.
Who wants a frog like that?... My brother!
(Size: 3x2 cms. Metal: 18k gold. Technique: bulino. Inked)
And the unusual about the third one is the size. That engraving of the Sacred Heart had to be cheap and had to fit in a medal whith a diameter of 4 cms!!!! With all my respects for devote people, that's a little too big... Don't you think so?
Yes guys, in Spain one can get different things to engrave. But that's fun!
Please, share your "unusual" jobs, too!!
