Any artists out there?

I think I'm calling this done although I might just meditate on it and make a few small changes here and there later

That's incredible! You engraved that? People would pay a ton for that - ever thought about doing it profesionally? If you're not already a professional. Also, did you do that on a pocket knife?

 

[EmmaRainboe]

Yup.

Wow! You must have such a steady hand. What tools do you typically use?

 

[Aquira]

So cute!

Thank you

I work from my own home studio doing fine art engraving and making fine custom jewelry I worked 12 years as a goldsmith and ended working full time for someone else 3 months ago. This job sold for $650. It is a custom made stag barlow lockback folder made by John Lloyd, purchased by a collector and sent to me for the engraving.

I'm not sure, I think I am just very trained for this fine work under a microscope. I use a lot of tricks to cut a good cut, but at the end of the day... it's practice. I use Steve Lindsay's foot control classic powered by nitrogen. My scope is the Leica A60 on the flex arm with a .60 auxiliary lens. My vise is the GRS standard ball on a shimpo banding wheel (really nice bearings), that's bolted to a modified bench grinder stand. Here is my studio.

Yes, they’re both bred from French Toulouse from Metzer, and thank you!!

The picture I posted previously (and am still looking for a better picture) is a sable antelope done with charcoal and graphite. A family member requested that I draw her an elephant in front of Kilimanjaro, here's the sketch. Started shading it yesterday, will post when done. Graphite sketch. Everything is done on paper.

You're art is amazing. I love the ones with the colored pencils! I'm trying to get more into water color and be able to mix colors and blend them but I'm so used to using a pen or a pencil
