New Project





So this is my latest finished project. I made it for my friend Manami who got married in Feb. And it's taken me a LOT longer than I expected to finish it. I spend about 10 to 12 hours total on that mirror. 6 of thoes were actual etching, the rest was drawing and tracing and re drawing and centering. But as anything you can't see the detail very well in the picture. I wanted to make it a little more personal for her and so since Manami is Japanese, I put the Japanese Charecters for Eternity (on the left) and Love (on the right). I worked really hard on it to get everything centered and symetrical and unless I point out to you it's flaws you most likely wont even notice them. I'm very pleased with how it turned out. And I wont do another one unless a very close friend is getting married, or if I get paid. :) It was fun though, just takes a while.

Sarah you're so stinkin awesome! I wish I had time to do that kind of stuff. I barley have time to get the scrapbooking done that I need. (and since I've had kids the scrapbooking has doubled.

That turned out really nice. Are you going to do something like that for your home?

Sarah said...

eventually I will. but it's different doing stuff for your self. It's not as fun, I might nto do as good of a job. Or I might never decide what I really want.
