Thanks for the kind words y'all. I'm pretty confident the second dot-style one that I do will come out much better than the first, now that I have an idea of the right pressure and spacing and such. I'm thinking for the next mag, I'll reverse the tip I'm using so the flat side is down and try for a fish scale type pattern. Not sure if it'll work. I also want to do one with a "tree bark" looking pattern, but I haven't figured out how yet.

Sooo.... like a spiral? I can do that.
