[Marcus Hunt]

excellent work Jacques, a pity it's only on a practice plate. Well done

Question on the flower

Did you use some type of software to create the flower?

 

[Mike Cirelli]

That's a very nice piece of work. It is a shame it's not going on a gun. Beautiful rosettes.

Jacques, My God! That is a practice plate????? That should have gone on something! Anything! ....Make a necklace out of it,........... Mount it on the dashboard of your mercedes................ Or somebody's Mercedes! ..........Very striking, unique and clean work. Bravo!..............Nice fingerprint too! ....Sam, of course would notice that. He is a stickler for details... Ha Ha......aren't we all?!.....Ron S

you have a great command

not only of the graver, but of the art as well. It is truly a great work. You are flying to the peaks! Thank you for sharing, and my money is on you to win the contest, Jacques!

Wow Jacques! That is amazing! I can't add anymore than what has already said. You are doing beautiful work! Like Ron said, that should be on something other than a practice plate. I love it! Dwayne

Outstanding work! It is now in my e-archives for more study and inspiration.

Wonderful engraving - can not believe you are not a full time engraver after seeing this.
Keep up the great work, Dick

Absolutely stunnung. I can't believe that is just a practice plate.

Jacques, I keep coming back and looking at this. Andy Shinosky did a piece for Warren Osborn a while back and it really stuck out to me with the 3-D look, it had sooooo much depth, literally stunning. This practice plate has the same affect, although completely different its capturing that 3-D look I love, I can't seem to do it yet but That's what I'm striving for. I've copied the image for insparation as well. Thanks again for sharing Dwayne
