The Wolf Man
I was working on the eyes and mouth more to get some sculpturing practice in . I think they look better on this coin more sunken in and define.
And yes I used a better coin this one has a date on it.

if you want to see how its doing on e-bay click this link


Still having fun at it . I think the next one will be “The Mummy” should be fun !

question

how do you all ship a coin when you sell one on e-bay?

just wrap it in a small box?
put it in a bubble envolope ?
put it in a ring holder box and then biger box and ship it?

any advice would be good

thanks

this is what i came up with, its a CD case.

I'm really liking your work. How long does it take you to do one?

takes me 4-5 hours to carve a coin like wolf man.

but normaly 1 day because i carve for a few hr then get up and do other things around the house for a hour or so like gardening or fixing a car then back to engraving.
thats good about working at home. but at the same time i dont sleep very well at night so most of the time i am engraving as late as 3 am or 4am then fall asleep around 5 and up at 9 back to work its a new day.
