a little progress

It seems like the summer is getting really short really fast.

I’ve made some progress on my cameo project, part deux.

I still need to put the 2nd frame on, which is made from 14k gold filled wire. I also acquired smaller acupuncture needles to use in this piece, and I think the scale is much better.

This is the back of the piece with the pin stem components mostly finished. The little hair ball is stitched to a thin scalloped silver piece and will be prong set in between the catch for the pin. The gold frame still needs to be wrapped with the fine gold filled wire, but first I must sand…

And now, I’m off to Arrowmont this weekend for a workshop next week!
