Last Practice Engravings

October 05, 2012

My final practice engravings!!!
Week 3 I began making some of my own work on the side… Finishing those up this week in Praiano, Campania Italy! I also was able to go back to the La Specola museum and will post some amazing pics from that visit this week! It has inspired a bunch of new designs to be hand-engraved in the Florentine style.  I will definitely have a limited collection of those ready by the One of a Kind Show in Chicago December 6-9.

Hand-engraved boarder studies by Peggy Skemp.

Studie of hand-engraved circles. They are meant to have an even shimmering-effect, like a record, with movement. Its great practice for both straight-lines and circles.

Engraved bronze plate by Peggy Skemp. It has strange titty-dragons. I’m not sure what it means.

Study of traditional Florentine scroll-work by Peggy Skemp.
