Hi Arnaud

I tryed the personal website, a few times stayed on them 4 or 5 months never got even an question. Spent a lot of time along with the mony. At least on ebay people are looking at my work. I think its worth a try.

I like your engraving, you have come a long way in a short time.

since you have asked, here tizz ! i think you need to practice the fine linework more before doing this type work for the clients. i think you could make this a good deal better by doing say- thin to thick back to thin cuts with a flat graver. then add 1 or 2 thin lines along side the bright cut, till you get better control. that way it would not look so "overcrowded". your thin cuts should never intersect one another. this is easily overcome with xtra practice. jm2cw. whatever you do, don't give up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
