Ah shiz, it is Mermay, isn't it? I completely forgot.
They look great, by the way.

That's cool!

I love the reflections.

Wow.

I love your avatar!

Thank you! It’s of my favorite girl, Sonny. : D

ok now you have to link the posts...and CNN contacted you??? That's insane
I mainly use tumblr, insta, and discord for my art...though I hardly get any notes on tumblr unless it's got a trending tag (my owl house thing is at 3k notes), and instagram is mostly just people I know personally. And on discord you only get a few people viewing it obviously, even on a big server. It's just fun to post there ig

I'd have to do some digging. This was a very long time ago. I posted an album to r/pics of the process start to finish of me making my husband's wedding ring. I finished it within a month or two of the wedding, just in time, so the post would've been made in 2014.

This isn’t a new piece (drew it at the start of 2022), but I decided to touch up on it a little today.

Fancy

So one of the parts of the engraving process is getting the outline of what it is you're engraving, for borders. I do this by taking an oil lamp and holding the piece over the dirty smoke end of the flame. It deposits smoke on the piece which I then will apply a piece of clear tape to, paste to a piece of paper, and scan into my computer which gives me my "smoke print".

You can do smoke prints after you're done. This is what I did here, for giggles, because it's a nice physical copy of what I carved into steel. I smoke printed the finished engraving, lifted the smoke with packing tape, pasted it to printer paper and scanned the result.

Another owl WIP. I definitely need to stop drawing birds, and move on to something fresh and exciting.
