Incorporating Engraving Into My Work

After a year and a half of learning and practicing, I am finally beginning to incorporate engraving into my work, and I’m so excited about what it is bringing to my work. It’s difficult for me when things don’t turn out perfectly, or like they look in my mind, but I finally realized that that bar will continue to move as I learn, so I need to be happy with where I am right in the moment. Otherwise, I’ll never make anything if I’m waiting for that moment when everything congeals into perfection.

I’m very excited about the possibilities that engraving offers, and I have lots of ideas for projects. All I need is the time to be able to make them. I still don’t have the skills to produce all of what I see, but I’m determined to practice until I do! Meanwhile, I have some new pieces available that I just love.
