    Critics welcomed !

    I’m with monk, too many leaves on top of each other. There should be a balance between the negative(background) and positive(leaves) spaces.

    Remington Model 4

    Removing Barrels from the New Generation Colt Pythons?

    Thank you for the information Mike. I just acquired a new Python (stainless) which I was going to engrave. It’s a disappointment that the barrel can not be removed, it sure changes the design thoughts. Maybe a jig can be made to hold and help rotate?… sure adds a lot extra work and gymnastics.

I’m a compulsive doodler and when I have spare minutes that’s what...

    Darkening backgrounds

    Same as Monk, I also use etching ink (Gamblin I think)… use paper, news paper or business cards are good to wipe off the excess. It leaves the ink in the relieved areas instead of wiping it away like a cloth would.
