So my actual pieces are coming along, but I don't have any progress shots at the moment. The base coats of enamel are down on both the squid and the seahorse, and I'm maybe a third of the way through laying down the silver foil on the seahorse. So far, the silver foil alone on the seahorse is about...four hours worth of work. I'm using stupidly small slivers of foil in order to keep the detail of the chasing. But it seems to be working out, even if it is taking forever. Right now it kind of glitters, which should be awesome after I've laid down color on top. I've also started working on the skeleton for the seahorse.
As for photos, I present you with my renderings from last week. These were both responses to "Go home and render a cabochon stone set brooch."
In other news, I'm also about to start making the chain for an absolutely fabulous charm necklace that our senior class is raffling off to raise money for the senior show. Tickets will be $5 each and 5 for $20. The charms are pretty amazing, and if any of us gets famous...
