    Question: Wearing Mask when sharpening gravers?

    most of the paper masks offer less protection than people think. tthey tend to leak unless a true seal is created to the face and nose. without a good seal, you're still getting some dust.

    Critique Request Silver charm/ gold inlay

    if i were to do one, i'd use only 2 or 3 stems and let the leaves make a statement. that would, in my opinion, create a light rather than heavy look to the piece. fwiw, i think the one you did will get you a hug and a kiss !
