Default Re: My metal scratchings

Hi Daniel
While my shading needs a lot of work as you can tell on the Zippo, I did do some shading on the knife after this picture was taken. As for the leaves, I can draw them better with a pencil than I can engrave them, so far.

The keys you posted look good to me

To transfer the designs after sizing them, I used the technique described in one of the tutorials in which you scribe dots onto the metal. It worked well and doesn't smudge

Thank you for looking and for the compliments. I enjoyed chatting with you the other night/day
