Hi All,
Shadowling sent me over. This is my latest work (I actually have three laying around at the moment). It is a volunteer mallow that came up in a flowerpot that's laying around (in fact I ran over the pot with my car, that's the shape it's in LOL). I was quite taken with it and am still working on it. It's a 5x7 ampersand board and my tools are a #11 exacto knife and dental tools. I just started a second scratching on it today, making sure that my details are where I want them for when I paint it.
BTW, Shadowling, I also work in the copper or gold and the silver. If you want a decent photo of it, take it outside, unframed, on an overcast day. My last one was done by a professional photographer and he still did it that way too. It came out very, very nice, but it still doesn't give you any idea of exactly how the stuff looks. Then! I mentioned to a photographer about the metallic and the difficulties and she sent me to mpix.com (please note: I have nothing to do with them except I've used them). They carry a metallic photo paper. I've had my "Reined In" reprinted on the metallic paper and it's almost as good as the original except you can get it in different sizes. Reasonable prices too.
