Hi guys, I've been getting a lot of mileage out of Ron's book "The Advanced Drawing of Scrolls". I'll read and look at the pictures then close the book and sketch away. I came up with this pair of scrolls (my drawing and then a cleaned up PhotoShop version for piercing) to mount on a set of spurs to be judged for a spur guild.
My first love of engraving was when I found this forum and saw all of the beautiful gun style scrolls, so even though I bright cut engrave a lot I always come back to these scrolls. Cutting them out and mounting them onto my work is my version of blending the gun engraving with Western spurs and buckles and it's a lot of fun. I do have to admit that switching between the two different geometries of the Western and English scrolls is tricky, by default I usually draw a western scroll and have to catch myself I'll post the finished spurs after I get them done down the road.
Thanks Ron for the great inspiration, motivation, and enjoyment of creation in your scroll work I get form your teachings
