scribble

[didyoung]

playing around with an idea.
what do you think?

 

[Willem Parel]

Go for it Shawn, it looks fine to me, I like the repeating vase idea.

Shawn, looks like a good scribble to me.

looks fine, but why not let the start and end touch?

How big is the drawing? And how small would you engrave it?
Neat stuff as always!

 

[Sam]

Love seeing your drawings, Shawn. Looks good!

Hi Shawn!
I like it!
All as taught by Sam!

 

[didyoung]

a revised version of the first sketch. i am sure that a few things will change as i get it cut.
this will be on a sterling 1 inch wide bracelet.

Shawn,

Always good stuff on your posts and very welcome, perfect for a forum.

My eye kept going to one of your scrolls, so I took the liberty, as a suggestion, of putting it into Photoshop and warped it a bit, but certainly not perfectly. My eye did not feel right with the scroll and leaf element coming out on the right hand side.... this was before you posted your addition, expanding the design...

No? or no

best

Rod

 

[didyoung]

thanks rod.
any help or ideas from anyone are always welcome.

some progress

 

[didyoung]

not much progress has been made, but i am still scratching away.
the cross on either end will be pierced.

 

[Arnaud Van Tilburgh]

When you pierce out the two crosses with care, you will have two pendants too.

[didyoung]

finished.....didnt pierce the cross. maybe next time Arnaud

Shawn,

Your scrollwork and butterfly on the bracelet is exquisite. I can't help but thinking that if you applied yourself to high end custom knives it would be more financially rewarding and would build your reputation as an engraver far beyond this forum.

Cheers,
Roger

Nice. Please show us a side view.

Roger, Shawn is very well known in the Bit and Spur world as well as the Western Jewelry world. Knives and guns and motorcycle part are not all there is to engrave. Fred

 

[didyoung]

roger you get me a knife to engrave and i will do it.....lol i will save some cash and have a nice knife made....then engrave it.
thanks for all the nice comments.
