Here are a couple of shots of some things that I have been selling recently.
I thought I would share them with all of you.

Barbara,
Thank you for posting the photos.
We're trying to keep size of attached files in a 50K ballpark.
That serves to conserve our bandwidth and normally keeps the images at a viewing size that won't require that people scroll, in order to see the full image.
No need to adjust the attachments, this time. I'll resize them and embed them into your post.
Thanks again,

I did make them smaller, but used 300 dpi, could that be the reason they were bigger?
Thanks for making them smaller for me.

Barbara,
72 dpi is fine for web stuff.
The images are up. :-)

Barbara,
Your photos engraved wonderful! I am sure the customers were happy with these, I know I would be. :-)

Thanks for sharing.

Its a rosewood table plaque. Round on top and sides and sits flat. It's about 1 inch thick, and is a piano finish. I love it. I had a devil of a time figuring out how to engrave it, but it's filled with gold paint, and that made a huge difference.
Glad you liked it.

Wow. Funny how the eyes can play tricks. When I saw that I thought it was a red acrylic piece with a clear (hollow) dome over it.

Ya never know what is in the eyes of the beholder.
That would have been cool also.

Barbara,
Was the rosewood oval, a stock item, meant to be engraved, or did you just see an out-of-the-box application for an item designed for another use?
It really does look nice.

I saw it, loved it, ordered it, and promptly ruined one of them, and the back of the one you saw. I guess it was just an out of the box idea, but it came out great once I played with it enough. Ruined one and a half in the process, but it came out nice in the end.
I ordered it from Creative Gifts.

Barbara,
If you want to add a second life to an item like your piano finished award, go to Walmart, Michaels or Hobby Lobby and get some of their self adhesive felt, cover up the side that didn't meet your standards and engrave the other side.

I would have never thought of that. Thank you, I will definitely do that.
Thanks
