Default Re: my second bulino (I even dream in dots now)

Katherine, that is really incredible for your second bulino piece. Maybe you could practice on one of my knives someday:D You seem to be a natural at this, very beautiful work. just my opinion but you could use some linework in places for some different effects.

I know you have probably been asked a hundred time but what kind of tool are you using? Do you cut yur dots at different angles? Im still learning after all these years.
Also, do you pop off the burrs on each dot? some think it isnt engraving if the burr isnt removed but just stippled. Well Fracassi and most of the best leave the burrs on.
Anyway, excellent work and cant wait to see the next one. I'm working on some tigers now in color now for an Owen Wood dagger. As well as you are doing maybe you can do on of my little Slivers. Keep up the excellent work.
