silver leaf initial pendants

[celticjohn]

Engraved and cut from 1.2mm thick silver sheet. The letters are roughly 25mm in height at their highest points.

Good design and good execution, but in would prefer the background be more uniform. It's too random, indicating inattention to detail.

looks great to me.

There are some rough edges that bothers me a little, especially when viewing these so close- but do like the style and design!

Draw the letters on thicker card stock, cut them out, and then balance them on a knife edge---you will find out where the top loop must be placed so that the letter hangs vertically. In my eye, both of these letters will hang with the tops tilting to the right.

I prefer them tilted.
When I designed my spurs for my brand, it designed out better tilted. Straight up cookie cutter is boring!
As for your inconsistensies, I go back, after my spurs are polished out, no scratches, and ADD file marks to give it the true handmade look. The same goes for my designs. NO scrollwhiz apps here, just a good, honest, hand drawn layout with quirks.
My buddy, Terry Theiss, was in the printing business for years, therefore, he knows just about every tweeking option available to manipulate an image. Yet, he hand draws each engraving, missing a beat here and there during the actual cutting and ends up creating awesome scenes.
So, in my DTO, you did great, Hoss! :clapping:

Please show us these file marks that give your spurs that handmade look.

Wish I could !
I only have a cellphone that is incompatible with the Cafe's setup for downloading pics.
If you'll check out my profile page you can see I tried. The only thing that I was able to do was make a couple of file folders.
