I’m pretty damn pleased with the result :) It’s not fantastic, it seems it wasn’t completely dry and so popped slightly when I started firing it, but as a first attempt. Not bad.

I’ve fitted a silver jump-ring to it and I might even wear it out later :) I’m pondering tarnishing it a bit in some Liver of Sulphur and then re-polishing the highlights so the pattern stands out a little more.

Now onto designing some more :D
