    Engraved Zippo practice

    Some very nice elements and shading. To my eye you should shave the bump/point off the top of the originating bud.

    Inlay very small dots technique

    There are many ways to do this. Looks like you are already getting good results by your enclosed pictures. So I suggest that you stay with that technique. One thing that you may find helpful. To form a ball for inlay hold your wire in a vertical position. Apply the flame of a propane torch to...

    Thank you for encouraging a young man with a dream

    JB, well done, it is popular and no need to avoid inking the background. Your pendant and design show much better with the contrast IMO. Thank you for giving it a try. Please also see my personal message.
