Back to the bench

[Secondtimeround]

Hello from me to Show and Tell. Having just returned to my bench after 30 years I tried re-using some scraps of silver from failed projects, I do appear to be something of an expert in failed projects. This tree inspired pendant came from a failed attempt at a compound twist ring I was working on. I just untwisted the "knitting" bashed the wires flat (is bashing a recognised technique?) and arranged them in this fashion with a few added grains. I hope you like it.

Bashing is fine. It's the result that counts and as a fan of bonsai I love the result here. Very much like twisted juniper (that I killed...)

I really like this as well, I'm impressed with the granulation too, something I try often and get very frustrated but these look great!

Its beautiful! what a great turn-around!

Many thanks for the comments. I do spend a fair amount of time experimenting these days - I used to make handmade chains from a "sort of" filigree, but the time it took to make them makes it a wee bit uneconomical.
