I just finished this and since there was a thread going on the subject,I thought I would throw this in the mix. It measures 2 1/2" in dia.

Well, I want to see it, but the glare is just too bad. Let's cut the bottom out of a plastic milk jug, put it over the piece, take a picture through the top opening and see if the image turns out better, please Mr Silverchip!

Dave,

Glare or no glare, it is already looking mighty fine, and I wanna hear a lot more about how you approached this, and hopefully a few more pics. Looks like you have gone for an almost cubist result. I like it!

Seems like a fella named Dave once advised me to use wax to cut the glare. Nice work though. We gottta flip you a few horse apples. It's a rule or something.

I never did take new photos of that bracelet. Or finish my photo setup, or finish the pendant I'm currently not working on..........

Silverchip, I do hope you get a chance to photograph this again. It appears to be quite fine; much more detailed than typical Western bright-cut. I seem to remember Calumet photograph supply (online) had a spray that worked to remove shine on objects like silver.
Is the cougar head cast or did you chase and repoussé it?

 

[silverchip]

Here I used the same camera and TADA!!!! if it swims it looks just great!!!!! go figure!!
