Title: For Sale: Unofficial Golden Heart Amulet
Post by: Daan on June 04, 2019, 07:31:54 PM
This post promotes a product, I hope this is allowed in this section 

Update 13/06/2019: Now also available with 'Mark Knopfler 1996' engraved on the back of the heart

Hello All!

Since I noticed quite some demand for the official Mark Knopfler amulet, I wanted to give it a try and model a version for those who are unable to get their hands on the original version. However, for this version I tried to come as close as possible to the version on the album cover. The result can be found via the link below. The Amulet is printed using PLA plastic and painted using spray paint. The shoelace is made out of real leather.

Just ordered one, as it looks soooooo good...
I did put a note whether you could add 'Mark Knopfler 1996' on the back and here is a photo of the 'real' amulet with the writing on the reverse...

Hi Knopflerfan,

Thank you very much for the order! The model does not contain the 'Mark Knopfler 1996' text on the back as it is modeled according to the amulet on the album cover. I am willing to design a second version though, we can further discuss this in private messages.

Best,

Dan

Not on Dan's initial model of the amulet, but I'm in discussions to hopefully have 'Mark Knopfler 1996' added on the back...

I think he would sell a few of them with the lettering on...

Yes, I think he will sell quite a lot if it has also the back words!

I am indeed working on it currently. I will update this post once I have a proper version with 'Mark Knopfler 1996' on the back :D

It really does look the dogs! Thanks for showing me the finished mock up and those that are interested will just have to wait for Daan to reveal the finished article!!@

So here is the finished amulet in all its glory! I took delivery of this beautiful piece of art this morning...

Having had chance to fully study the workmanship that Daan has put into this I have to say, I am thrilled!!
I'm pleased I asked him to put the lettering on the back and this somehow for me finishes the amulet brilliantly...
I have attached some close up photos for you all to study..
This is a lovely unique MK momento to have for the collection....
