Well....from where I sit it looks likes it's "going" to be great! Do/did you use any air assisted tools for you scroll work or on these types of pieces? Or do you do your scroll work with you same hand piece you use on your bulino?

I am sure Phil post these to tease we mere mortals 
If that is true...he sure does a good job of it!!

I like to think of my game scenes as a journey, they can go anywhere, once the birds are cut, the journey can begin.
I like to frame a scene, bringing ones eyes around and into it. They main thing to remember is that because there's no colour tones to separate objects and areas, it has to be light against dark and visa versa, this, is what makes objects appear to be close or distant.

PS, Donny, I use power for the scrolls.

Well stated and nuggets of wisdom for anyone interested in scenes.
Phil, we seem to approach scenes in much the same way. It will be fun to watch the journey. Thanks for posting.

Hopefully it's going to my house when it's finished!!!

It's very important to be able to engrave textures, ie feathers, rocks, mountains etc, but the overall composition has to be good and balanced, if it's not then it doesn't matter how good the engraving is!

I had never noticed before that you sign your work before you do it. I always sign mine last. Do you have a reason, or is that just how you've always done it?

Beautiful work. This lead me to your gallery and I was just in awe. As someone who is brand new and gathering info, to decide which direction to go, it makes the task somewhat daunting. Curse you and all your greatness...jking of course. thanks for sharing.

Two reasons, 1, to get it over and done with has to be done at some point, and 2, it's easy to carry on engraving, forgetting to leave a space for it....i've done that once or twice

Phil.
I love to see this kind of work. It gives me a lot to think about. Two thoughts came to me right away. I first noticed that you began to cut the background before the birds. I can't wait to see how this will work out. Also I noticed there is no border on the front lower portion of the lock plate.
I assume that the design will carry over to the frame at that point. Please keep the good stuff coming.

It doesn't matter if the birds are cut first or last as long as the forground grass is put in before starting them.

Phil. Could you please post a picture to show the cutting that makes up the background foliage and clouds. It amazes me just how life-like you manage to get them. As always thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to photograph and post your work. I hope you and everyone on the forum have a very happy, healthy and prosperous new year.
