Tooled Iphone cover

Just finished up this little surprise gift for a friend of ours.  Thought I'd share.  Slowly but surely getting better at sketching my own designs. And tooling tiny items...

Thanks @mikesc!  Still trying to improve my wreckerative cuts tho...  Here's a very up close with a pencil for scale, before all the dye, resist, antique and finish work.

I didn't have a shader small enough for the flower petals, so I struggled a bit with the modeling spoon.  But the end result is passable, I think.

I really like the curvy outline to the design that doesn't follow the rectangular contours of the case itself. That's a really good design!

I appreciate that.  I saw something similar somewhere else, so I did my own kind of version of it.  Bit of a gamble, but paid out ok I think.

Thank you, I try to get a bit better every time... Figure in 100 years of Sundays, I'll get the hang of it!

Really nice work. How is it attached to the cover? Upper right, is that just a fancy S or is it something else? I've been struggling with small carvings lately. I need some smaller petal lifters. I struggle with cutting the small curves on the petal tops.

Very nice work.
