Default Passion for lines

Hello,

I have been a long time far from forums, busy with other different issues.

I have drawn, designed and hand engraved this on a small italian silver case (4 cm diam.).
It is a present for my wife, so I put the best of myself in it.
Everything has been done using a 90º square graver.
I tried to mix different techniques to get the most from different line modulation. Heavy lines add contrast and create different "layers".
For the backgorund I just used thin lines, not widened at all. Very few dots in it.

After many years, my passion for lines keeps growing!

Greetings for all this engravers' community,

Jordi.

Mrthe, por supuesto, llámame y una mañana quedamos un ratillo para que veas las herramientas y el taller. Si vuelves a escribir, mejor escríbeme al email privado (más abajo) porque no suelo pasar a menudo por los foros.
