Here are two more pages from my forthcoming book on Julie Wanenski-Erickson.
This time from the section displaying Curt Erickson's amazing art knives, that
were carved, engraved and inlaid by Julie...

Many art daggers in this book, made by Buster Warenski, Curt Erickson, Julie as
well as others have handles made of gem quality minerals. I therefore decided
to add detailed information about these stones (the colored texts) whenever
such knives were displayed.

All the best,
David Darom

My favorite in this spread has got to be the dendritic-handled dagger,which you show as "Dagger 2010". They are all stunning, of course, but love the platinum inlays.

David, how can I make sure that I get #54/100, as with your other books?

I know I'll need more than one - I've already been "asked" for some as gifts ("asked" in this case means "told").

Some of my favorite close-ups are of the buttons and her gold beading, like in these images:

What a beauty!

After dealing with so many knives that were "treated" by Julie,
I completely agree with you, Bob!

Since I made the first post on this Thread showing two "Raw"
pictures of Julie creating her "Weave Pattern Gold Inlay" on the
nickel silver sheath, I have received several emails asking me to
display the whole process... Some even said "please"....

Well, even though I have only just finished setting the whole section
where Julie makes and engraves an art dagger and sheath, and we
are still working on the running texts/descriptions, here is the requested
two page setup.

I think that this photographic sequence needs no real
explaining, does it?

Here is a full page composite illustration that I created for one of the
appendixes in Julie's book.

The idea was to give Julie a reference picture to write about her
design concepts regarding the carving, engraving and gold inlaying
of metal (nickel silver or German silver) sheaths.

So far there will be 12 appendixes at the end of her book,
some of them technical and some more design-concept related...

Wow...

No words are adequate to describe this tableau!!!

Proof-positive of the picture being worth one thousand of them.

Stunning layout, David. Really captivating.

Julie has incredible talent. I will be anxiously awaiting to get a copy of the book David.

A really great representation of her sheath engraving - many of which I recognize. Very much looking forward to this publication!

Here is one more example of an appendix in Julie's book.
It describes and demonstrates the "secret" of her
gold beading inlay technique....

In all there will be 12 technical appendixes at the end of the book.

All the best,

David, these appendices are amazing. The one with crosshatch technique and this one with beading, just wonderfully stunning, the way they are shot - and of course, the techniques themselves. This book will be a super addition to your suite of publications, can't wait to get my hands on a copy when they hit Utah.
