Another beginner

First off, Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome! Thank you Bob for all your help with my photo problems yesterday and thanks to Jamey S for his site and help with the pics also.

I am new to the forums and engraving. I wanted to post some pictures so I could get some feedback from everyone. My pictures are horrible, but I am working on that...
I started engraving in April of this year after some encouragement from my father and husband who are both knifemakers. I dove right in with the GraverMax from GRS. I have also had some help from Tim Herman -Thanks Tim!

I am a graphic artist and interior designer, and I tend to take an artsy approach to my engraving.

Below is a link to my pictures -I would love any and all feedback!
I love doing the celtic knotwork and tribal designs as well as people -mythical or real...

Thanks again to everyone for their help and kind words so far!

Hi Kristi,

Good work for someone whos been at it for such a short time!...

Remember your art training...be aware of the effect and balance negative spaces have in relation to the main subject image.

Theres a lot of info in the Photography Discussion Forum...study the contest photos...and don't forget to vote for the photo of the week.

Glad to have you on board!...

Tim
