Default Re: Pauls Plate Submission

Hi all,
copied and transfered a image from "handbook of ornament" . Wanted to try adding a bit of character and life into the cuts on this practice plate, dont know if i succeeded but had fun. Will have to pay attention to the rules on how to achieve this. Its one of the things I find very frustrating, I can recognize a piece if its right, but dont know how to achieve it myself.

You may (hard not to notice ) see the big scratch on the plate, was 90% done when while turning I released the positioning vice during a cut and AAAAAAAHHHHHHH SH%$#, was going so well too. thought it only fair to show it warts and all, you cannot know how hard it was NOT to photoshop it out on the picture (pity you can not do that in real life )

Plate 3



yours Paul
