Still learning after 30 years! Filligreed Silver.
Howdy all, been awhile since I last posted. I have never done an overlaid and filligreed anything before. I underestimated the time it would take to perform this bridle set. Consequently I did not earn my desired pay rate on this set, however I did gain the experience (positive outlook, lol). The cast flowers were provided by the customer. On the square conchos, these flowers had to be placed over the area to cover where the chicago screws were soldered in place. The customer also chose these placements. I am really looking forward to doing another project involving these techniques again but with more control over the design concept.
Best regards,
Greg Pauline
