bulino on nickel silver pendant Ron Jr.

[Ron Jr.]

She's pretty tiny, about .8 of an inch across, is hard to see a lot of the detail that is in there in the picture. I find that nickel silver is a lot easier to achieve darks with than sterling silver.

Nicely done Ron. Very good definition and shadow/highlights. Thanks for sharing.

Very good work!! You have added more dots as I suggested. One more thing, the finish in the nickel looks a little too rough. For that small of a piece I would use at least 2000 grit paper for a real nice fine finish. The course vertical lines take away from the beautiful work you did on this piece. Keep up the great work. If I can help further please give me a call at 913 839 1924 I can help you get real nice blacks and the geometry of the burin you are using is very important for getting good blacks.

This coming year I will be coming out with a series of pinup girls in my color engraving that's going to be HOT

You are absolutely right about the finish Tim, Thanks for the tip. I just recently started taking the metal to a finer finish, (picture is a stainless steel disc) almost a polish and you can see the finer details a lot better.

I cant wait and look very forward to seeing your pinup girls in color!!
