Engraving on silverware and news about...inside ring engraving!!,

[Katia]

Hi there,

Last time I posted here was probably at least 2 years ago.

I used to introduce myself as being a gun engraver, however during the past 2 years or so, I have ventured into quite a few different fields. Watches ( yes, engraving marine grade stainless steel, the hardest steel of them all!), guitar parts, etc etc.

I am now very used to Cutting different metals. But until now, I never thought I would enjoy engraving portraits in silver. Letters, scrollwork on silver, yes. But portraits of animals?? How on earth do you give the different greys?

Turns out I now absolutely love workin on silver!! The bird on this silver beaker has not been inked or oxydised. Thought you might be interested in seeing the results.

Also, I have now started practising inside ring engraving. I thought I would go mental trying to do that esoteric skill. Turns out I am starting to get O.K and think next month or so, I will engrave on real rings rather than plumbing stuff. Really excited about this!!!

Hey Katia!

Nice to see you back! I have sadly not managed to progress any further on the project we were talking about.

Hope you show more of your amazing work.

Hi Katia - nice to see you back.
How different is it getting the greys on silver as opposed to steel? And what's Daniel up to?

(I presume you weren't engraving any arsenic...!)
