Ah well, after 66 years on this earth, I still love, crave and appreciate books in any physical form. Next life, I hope I remember that learning this art could be a dream come true. Now I'll stick to what I am good at and continue to admire your work, while I ply my own minor crafts.lifesarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680578867057281541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582585744614656229.post-117997135063674282016-02-21T20:04:58.193-08:002016-02-21T20:04:58.193-08:00Thank you!

You can use a tip of a compass to lightly score where you want to tool. You can see it through the leaf.<br /><br />If, by any chance you have to stamp again on the same position, all you gotta do is to be careful. You can do it. ;-)<br /><br />As we don't have individual lettering handtools, I use Kwikprint or type holder handtool for lettering.<br /><br />Thanks for the compliment. :-)MHRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05865432334906927871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582585744614656229.post-59738967375964121602016-02-20T09:32:46.767-08:002016-02-20T09:32:46.767-08:00Like everything on this site, this is beautiful wo...Like everything on this site, this is beautiful work. May I ask a question? Do you do the gold stamping with hand tools? If so, any tips on lining up the lettering if more than one impression is needed? It seems impossible to me!<br /><br />Oh, yes: Happy New Year!
