Looking for suggestions
#1
Hello friends,
 I am looking for suggestions on how to improve this little project of mine. I would like to engrave some simple sketches into wood, make sort-of postcards as a present for friends. Now I have never done this or any other (art-related) task before, and I don't know how to make it look better.
 What do you think about it? Should there be some other elements? Remove some elements (such as the latin/finnish name of the flower), change fonts / placement? All suggestions are welcome.
 Thank you Wink

I would try on a spare piece of wood using the image as a template trace all the solid lines then chisel them out to make an engraving on the wood. As a last step I would take a blow torch and go over the fresh engraving to darken and highlight the piece.
