What's in the vise at the moment- a nice older Busfield Persian folder with some lovely white MOP. no inlays, just my trompe l'oeil "Flying Leaf & Vine" engraved in the steel. the 3D illusion compliments the depth of the pearl beautifully.

Mitch, Another masterfully done shading job. It is hard to believe your work is as flat and smooth as just plain metal. Your work always amazes me and so many others. Thanks for sharing. Fred

Thanks for the post Mitch. I've been waiting for you to do another of your magnificent trompe l'oeil designs. I've always wanted to try one but the amount of repetitious work scares me away!
