    The symbol is a personal touch for my father in law, who has been as a real father to me over 18 years. and hopefully if I don’t balls it up that drawing will emerge onto the brass fuel cap for his triumph motorcycle.

    Thank you, Iam very keen to practice and progress to a decent standard. All of the above were no transfer, just scribed then cut. As you can see the scroll added around the bouquet is rather wonky…The buckle is transferred design then cut.
