Silk purse, sow's ear
Some of you will have already seen this on Facebook... Sorry!
I've been trying to engrave more objects and fewer practice plates - practice plates are great, but it's a different set of challenges to doing layout & engraving on a finished object. So...
Inexpensive aluminium bottle openers. I can't over-emphasise how unpleasant this stuff is to engrave; it's gritty, gummy, varying in hardness, the graver wants to dive at inopportune moments - fun all round.
Plaitwork for the next one I think (although I've seen some skull borders that might be entertaining to try).
