Xmas present

[thughes]

Hi all,
Here is a christmas present I finished this weekend. Somewhere in that mess is Sam's scroll design that I modified to fit this bracelet. Sorry Sam for butchering it so bad. I realize calling myself an "engraver" on the back is a little bit grand, but I needed the lettering practice. Any critiques/comments welcome and wanted. I realize there are lots of mistakes, especially the one tendril on either side that I just couldn't get to fit , and man does it show. Design wise, I also couldn't get that cross-over to ever look right.

Thanks for looking
Todd

Todd,

Don't be so hard on yourself. The kinds of things we nitpick here will never be seen by the recipient of the gift. Your lettering looks excelent.

Cheers,
Roger

Hi todd

I agree with Roger. Don't be so hard on yourself. You've come a long way and obviously been practicing and working hard at it.

The bracelet look great and so does the lettering. Keep it up, you're doing just fine

Cheers
Andrew

Just fine indeed, and yes, you're way too hard on yourself. This is nice work!

Todd, I agree with was already said here, "Don't be to hard on yourself", on the other hand of course, only your own criticism will help to try better.

Thank's guys for your encouragement. The photo actually somehow looks worse than in person. Please feel free to suggest any changes in my design, still a huge struggle for me.
