Miyamoto Musashi - The Book of Five Rings (五輪の書 Go Rin No Sho)

1.5" x 2" Brass, 22 gauge

1.5" x 2" Copper, 18 gauge

These are taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Musashi_ts_pic.jpg which was done by Utagawa Kuniyoshi. Do yourself a favor and check out more of Utagawa Kuniyoshi's work. Unbelievable. I will definitely be trying my hand at reproducing some more of his art.

These etched really well. The copper I just picked up is  very different from the brass. So it's all new which is fun and happy accidents happen more often.

These are not the finished photo's. More like 3/4 finished. Not polished or waxed. I'll see about getting one more photo before sending them off to the customer.

Oh ya. I have customers. So cool.
