Avital, Wow, they are both good from what I can see. I have never seen anyone actually doing this particular hobby but I do have a framed piece I bought a couple of years ago that impressed me, but it is not as intricate as your first attempts. Congrats, Janice

A neighbour took a course and explained the basics to me. Since I was stuck at home with a cold for a couple days and had bought a knife, I thought I'd give it a go. Here are pictures of my first two tries: http://www.flickr.com/photos/spindexr/sets/72157608480889917/ The first attempt is pretty bad. The second one was a big improvement, after I learned how to control the knife and remembered how to draft geometric borders. (Haven't done that since I was around 20, when I did calligraphy as a hobby.)
