Ooohhh am FAR too excited! I'll be ginger amazon charged with accosting the poor postie every day, watch for me on Central News ;)

Oh... I forgot to post yours... :)

Only joking, hope they live up to expectations - they were all shrink wrapped to a backing card so difficult to see how good the definition is

Mine were not etched right, they were done the wrong way around, and are useless.
so if anyone missed out on this, and wants to share a plate, so we will have quite a bit of space each, just send me a pm please.

How do you mean by not right Lee?
My makers mark the lb and the diamond around it is raised, and I sent my art work to spandit, and I didn't no that what gets etched away is what is black, and what is white gets left, or the othe way around, me heads gone now, anyway it's left what I Wanted taken away, and took what I wanted left
im just going to have to start again that's all.

Lee didn't realise that the black bits of the image would be stamped into the leather - he wanted a negative to what's on the way to him.

Wanted etched and not took it away if that makes sense.

Ok. He did mention that the black is what will be left behind. Looking back at the pic, your's is the other way to mine so your L will be raised. All may not be lost though with a bit of careful shaping of the outer it could make a very nice alternative to your others. Send them to me and I'll sort it for you.

Mate I have no dought that the others will be spot on, this is me not knowing that the black gets etched away, there for its the wrong way around.

Thanks stu, will have a look at them when they land, as I said to spandit the baby has not been well, and I have not been getting much sleep, has been a long day, and I'm a bit irritable, spandit has done a grand job, and I'm very great full for him, don't this, as these group buys are not easy dealing with people like me.
take care.

I agree with Stu - Looking at em they should file down to leave you with stamps that give embossed diamond shapes, which albeit not what you wanted should at least be useful.
