Here's a little hand-mirror I finished yesterday...Yellowheart with Rose Engine embellishing and a nice dichroic glass cabochon. It measures about 4.0" x 1.5".

I started to say " where's the handle". Actually i experimented with hand held mirrors with no handle a few years ago. Tried different shapes on the back to see wbat made them comfotable to hold. I didnt decorate the back like you did. My gallery said a lot of people oicked them up but they just didnt sell. Could be the local clientell.

Beautiful!

Ed -- You do beautiful work. I like the handleless style. Makes the mirrors much easier to tuck into a purse.

A special request

David Walser

Ed -- It would be great if you would start doing videos again. Over the years I've learned a lot from your how-to videos and I recommended them to several turners. Even if you never do another video, I'll owe you a debt of gratitude that can never be fully repaid. So a sincere thanks for all that I've learned from you over the years.

However, I'd love to be even deeper in debt!

Thanks David

I'll try to do better and come up with some interesting videos over the coming months. I did put one together last year. It's about embellishing woodturnings (yoyos) with a new kind of paint that has a very cool prism effect. The video is on YouTube...link below.
