Hi Barry,

Another master piece ! What words can one use to describe this work ?

If I may ask how do you make the background so perfect black ?

This master piece seems to me impossible to make. Obra maestra!

[Sam Welch]

Much too pretty to touch!!

[JJ Roberts]

Barry,the saphires are a really nice touch. J.J.

The combination of gold, black, and pearl white makes the knife so elegant !
Really superior piece of delicate beauty...

You would say "Barry's Black Satin background", because you would use special black ?

Thank you for sharing !

[Titian]

Wonderful work. I love it...

[JP Anderson]

You keep kicking out one of those a week till Christmas you'll be rich!

I prefer this one a bit more than the other you recently posted. Professional in all aspects.
