Here's a piece I made up... Cigar is a race horse stable colors were Red, White and Blue. The frame is from an old lobby show card display I picked up from the 30's I trimmed to fit.

Re: One from Me
Nice one Tyler. Stipple etched with variegated gold looks like to me. Is that right?
Nice shading job on the ribbon.

Re: One from Me
Thanks Rich
It's not acid etched. It's sandblasted, was deep etched on the outline. Then I use some garnet medium used in water jet cutters and frosted the letter face. Used XX pale gold powder on the outline and yes variegated on the face. Yeah I was happy with the ribbon when I flipped it around. The lettering has a nicer texture to it in real life but I tried my best to get a good photo.

And another. 23.5K with a little 22K here and there on the letters edge... it gives it a look of being embossed into the glass.
