I began 'playing' tonight and was going to create a test piece working with granulation - my idea was to just do something simple - I took a piece of silver and was going to chase a few lines and then add some granulation - maybe in the shape of flowers. But my ganules which I made were kind of on the large side and besides - I got so into the chasing I just never stopped until I had this:
I only used two patterned stamps, the rest is done with chasing tools. The scene was soldered on to a piece of copper and I was originally going to put some tube rivets in and tiny rings for a pendant - but ended up shaping the copper and now don't think I have room - so am not sure what to do - maybe a hidden tube soldered to the back?
