Quote:Oh! It's very nice!
For the decorations, how are made? acid? and the black substance what'is? Niello? will you add silver coating to the pieces?
Thanks guys!
for the decorations I used black epoxy, is very strong ... especially when you have to regrind :evil:
I made the carving with a small drill to dig the channel, then filled it with epoxy and dry when I grind up to the level of bronze.
But I repeat that this is just an experiment because I want to experiment with other techniques may be.
Currently i'm absolute not very happy with the decorations and if this project will go far I want to do better.
We still do not know how much time is needed for this project but I Think it would be a very long and now I'm just experimenting with what technique to use.
This is a good method, but rather tricky.
However, the carving must be very deep otherwise little epoxy and a few small areas remain transparent, as you can see in these photos of the first attempt, especially in small leaves.
