A Most Unusual Request...
Once in while, you get a request that's too intriguing to ignore.
That was the case here... A joint anniversary/birthday gift commissioned by my client. The concept is an octave of keys framed [with the associated ebony keys] as a presentation gift for a concert pianist [his sister] and her husband. I couldn't resist this opportunity to do something out of the ordinary...! The uniqueness of this sentimental gift hooked me from the start. I think it came off well.

Very classy Tim. Don't you love it when things like the number of letters in their names falls into place for the project!

Tim:
That is really great, BUT, where on the piano do 6 sharps (ebony keys) occur together like that? |

MG, Yes, I found that unusual as well...The client selected the order of keys he wanted displayed,
and was more concerned with something balanced [to him] rather than technically correct. A bigger challenge for me is taking someone's concept, and make it work somehow. ...And in some cases...make a silk purse out of a sow's ear!... :confused: Tim __________________ [B][URL="http://www.adlamengraving.com"]http://www.adlamengraving.com[/URL][/B] |

I agree! Wheres the "full key" neklace! Too bad it would be so much work to engrave to do. I think the neklace would have been a "key" fixture - in the laugh department! How about one done with INDIA INK (fast and acceptable) or is it too late?
