You never know what you're gonna get...

I just finished this piece yesterday and I have named it *Enigmatic Wonder*.  The mystery is in what each person sees in the piece.  It could be an elephant, a prehistoric forest, I see a giraffe or sci-fi horse on the left or??  What do YOU see??  I used the piercing technique to saw out the main image in brass.  I then soldered that to a copper back plate which I then filed down around the original image.  I then soldered that to a sterling silver back plate.  I textured a strip of sterling silver then soldered a silver bezel cup in the middle.  The stone I set in the cup is a beautiful Leopard Jasper.  The piece measures 1.5 by 2 inches.
