Well ,hello there!
I have just been asked to do a little " extra ' on a gold inlay job .
That little extra is actually something that has puzzled me for quite a while.
My customer wants a griffin in raised 24 carat gold . No problem , I can do that .
But now , he has told me that he would also like the eyes to be in a different colour ( green ) . And the tongue in red .
So, I have not answered back yet as I have absolutely no idea as to how it should be done technically .
At what stage do I put in the green and red gold and how do I make sure the wires ( I work with gold wires ) are in the right place?
I really don't know how to proceed .
Can anyone help me?
And do you know if it will slow down the process of inlaying the whole thing significantly ?
PS :I have attached some gold inlays samples that I have done in the past . The pictures were taken before I read all the advices about photography i found on this website , so they are a bit blurred .
Many thanks,
Katia
