I got the urge to do something artistic and make myself a centerpiece for a coin display... My hope is to sketch each of the coin types and place them in the center of a frame with the coins going around it. Here's my start to my Mercury Dime drawing. It's really neat to really pay attention the the details that go into our coins... They are just beautiful!!!

I must have been rich in my former life...because I'm broke in this one! When I was 18, I was offered to be an understudy for an old artist in our area that made large murals of swiss and amish countrysides. At the time, all I wanted was my girlfriend... fool am I! He died a couple years later, but his artwork is worth a loot! I have done many drawings and several paintings. Somewher there are 27 different paintings out there with my name on them... given to ex-girlfriends, friends and family members. Maybe I'll find one of mine at a garage sale someday!

That looks fantastic! You might be on to something that coin collectors would buy from you. I am a stamp collector and there is an artist that does wood carvings of all the old engraved stamps. He sets up at all the big national shows in Chicago, NY, etc and sells them for several thousand dollars each.

Let me know when you get both pieces done. E mail me them and I'll see what I can do in Mahogany. I won't be carving it by hand though lol I'm too lazy :cheesysmile:

That's beautiful Beef! That side of my brain just does not work that well. I didn't realize you were a talented artist. Very nice indeed. Thanks for sharing with us.
