Conversations about Jewellery Designing and Life
Did a bit of “Bulino Engraving” today. Using a picture taken by Constant Companion RR of her two cats, I think I did a rather decent job. While the engraving doesn’t show up dark if you look at it directly from the front, I supposed I can apply some black ink to really show the dots. […]
