January 2, 201214 yr wish i could say something intelligent, but your skills are way out of my experience range! its beautiful - i love how the pattern sways about like real fire.. it is perfectly contained.
January 4, 201214 yr Author Prokopto The contrast in colours looks better in real life than in the photos, especially when the light catches the piece. The contrast comes from the etching and how I polish them afterwards. There is no secret about it other than my heat control and not letting anything burn may have something to do with it. The finish I give these before laquering is with 2000 grit paper just to highlight the bright parts of the pattern. The photo below shows a similar sized trinket box but made from carbon steel and nickel. The contrast on these when the light catches them is quite beautiful as the almost pure nickel has a different lustre to it.
