Toward the end of the day, I was so close to heading out to bed and vegitating in front of the TV. But I also wanted to work on my latest project.
Until this past December, silvermaking meant I had to head to the garage - and dress appropriately for the weather. Now that I've moved to the basement and arranged a work area, it's so much easier and the weather isn't an issue. So now if I have a couple of hours, I don't have much of an excuse.
It was a pretty close call, but I decided to continue working on my latest ring. A couple of hours later, and this is what I have so far.
I don't know if you can see it, but the silver work is a bit different than before - yes, the details are still rough and need finishing, so bear with me. But the leaves and flowers are slightly more 3-dimentional than in my earlier work. I hope that this becomes more evident once I finish the edges and oxidize the piece to add more depth.
If I have enough free time, I really hope to make some more progress tomorrow. With luck, maybe even finish it!
I'll keep you updated on the progress.

All just part of the job.
I hope to be able to finish this ring this weekend.
