I think Anneke misunderstood my use of "emphasise", and that we are probably saying the same. I was just trying to keep it brief as I knew the whole post would be lengthy. I agree that the roll emphasises the design by giving it depth and strengthens the design lines by making them bolder. But its purpose is largely an aesthetic one and not because it is needed to carry pairs to somewhere else in the work. It is the way I used rolling for my Basilisk entry in Myth and Mystery.
In Honiton the roll is used in a more functional way to carry pairs from one piece to the next which reduces the need to keep stopping, bowing off and starting again. This strengthens the design structurally, and visually to some extent but the rolls tend to be less bold in relation to the rest of the work. They are generally not so immediately obvious as in Withof because they are rarely at the edge of the work. Honiton tends not to have the 3D, carved-out-of-ivory look that Withof has.
