Small silver pendant

[scott99]

Hi, here is a small pendant with a diameter of 1 3/8 inch about .070 thick. It was cut with a 90 with 45 degree face and a parallel heel. The back ground was removed with a series of flats from small to very small, and then textured with a very sharp single point.

So any comments or suggestions good or bad would be appreciated.I hope you like it,if not let me know.

Thanks

Eye catching! Should make someone very proud to wear. Fred

Looks good. One thing I'd suggest I'd suggest is make the design bigger so it fills the space more. Try to make it touch the borders.

HI,thanks for the input, filling an area is still a bit tough for me,but I will work on it. The flowers in life size really come quite close to the boarder,but blown up I see what you mean.

One thing I do with flowers, when I'm trying to fill a space is to use circle templates. I paint the surface with Chinese white then use the template to fill the space, sometimes overlapping circles with circles and the border. It makes for like a "macro" shot of a bouquet. Kind of a nice effect and it virtually eliminates background work. I find background work tedious and boring. I try to avoid it at all costs.

HI, thanks for the tip,oddly enough I find back ground removal to be sort of relaxing.O well different strokes I suppose.
