Basically Bob Report post Posted June 14, 2017 It looks great, Mike. The braiding is excellent and I especially like the colouring and stamping. Really cool how the texturing fades out randomly. thanks for sharing! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

immiketoo Report post Posted June 17, 2017 Spud, its supposed to represent the crossroads, but I don't know its origins. Customer wanted it so thats what they got. Could be a voodoo symbol for all I know Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

immiketoo Report post Posted June 18, 2017 Thanks, everyone. Not too difficult, but fun to build. The customer had one idea and we developed that idea into this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sofaspud Report post Posted June 19, 2017 Reminds me of photos I've seen of Pictish stone carvings. Cool the some images seem to cross cultural lines. Mostly though, I am very impressed by the quality of your work. Very nice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bullmoosepaddles Report post Posted June 2, 2018 @immiketoo If you would please. Explain how you achieved the crispness of the crossroad symbol, color wise, did you actually paint the darker color in those fine lines? Also the texture (dots) that fade away from the center of the band. Thank you Sir Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you Sir Mr. Moosepaddles, I purchased a custom stamp for that center piece and I used antique for the dark color on both the stamp and the dots.
