[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 381812, member: 5833"]Think I started saving cameo pix first just of pretty ones with favorite subjects, such as Diana.

There got to be enough of them to start categorizing into folders. Now it is essentially a data base/image bank that provides the raw material for what I put on line. I have a few public Pinterest boards. Several are for cameos/intaglios I know I will not be writing about. After lucking into [URL='https://www.pinterest.com/cameotimescom/ancient-banded-glass-intaglios/']one of these[/URL], became absolutely fascinated with how complex the manufacture was & looked for others. They're not really within the scope of the web site, but thought they deserved some publicity. I have the absolutely absurd notion that certain cameos should be mine because, apart from people who have learned it from me, I may be the only person in the cameo world who recognizes the subject, or one of the few who know the signature.
