This coin is a portrait of the beach dog that watches while we sleep. I thought you might enjoy the work process as it has proceeded thus far.
I love the work you are doing with so many comforts and aids, microscopes, computer transfers, comfy chairs and nifty new tool point configurations that can make life so much easier. This work being done today is so much more sophisticated than a short 30 years ago. I am a cranky and stubborn old fart stuck a couple of generations behind.
As I have no place that I desire to go and I enjoy the time spent in my studio. I prefer to do things the old, hard, time consuming, thought provoking way.
I thought these photos are of how it was done in times gone past, might interest you. Tools used H& Sq. graver, pencil, scribe, punch, and a push burin &7x loupe.
