DPNM Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 (edited) I am looking for a good source of leaf scroll designs. I've searched the wwweb and can only find a picture here and there. I'd really like a book or DVD. I know gun engravers books show finished work, I need the black and white drawing(s). If anyone has one or can point me in the right direction to find them I'd very much appreciate it. I have stuff to trade or ??? The two pictures below illustrate what I am looking for, more detail to the leaves would be even better. Edited September 7, 2013 by DPNM

DPNM Posted September 7, 2013 Author Posted September 7, 2013 (edited) Andrew, Thank you for taking the time, I appreciate the two links. I've taken quite a few designs from my web searches but there are far more I do not care for. I'd really like to find someone with loose pages, a book, DVD or let me know of a source where I can find some. Edited September 7, 2013 by DPNM
Crazy Ed Posted September 7, 2013 Posted September 7, 2013 Hi There Jim Maybe these'll help: http://www.engraving-videos.com/info_drawing_scrolls.html http://www.ottofrei.com/Advanced-Drawing-of-Scrolls-Book.html http://www.lgartistry.com/forsale.html
DPNM Posted September 7, 2013 Author Posted September 7, 2013 (edited) Ed, THANK YOU for the links!!! The book "Advanced Drawing of Scrolls: For Engraving Artists, Designers, Craftsmen by Ron Smith looks like it just might be the ticket. I will have to toss some stuff on feeBay to afford it but, maybe, even with my poor drawing skills I could learn to design my own. I had not come across this book in my google searches. Anyone have this book that they would be willing to let go of? Other suggestions are still welcome. Edited September 7, 2013 by DPNM
LokisTyro Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 You might have some luck finding books on archive.org. I've had a lot of luck there.
Crazy Ed Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 Ed, THANK YOU for the links!!! No Problem Jim. Glad you found the links useful
DPNM Posted September 11, 2013 Author Posted September 11, 2013 Thank you again to both gentlemen that responded. I very much appreciate your time and help. I purchased the book (hasn't come yet) but I will probably be contacting Casey to delete this post in the not too distant future.
