I adjusted the size of my sketch to about 3 1/2 inches by 1 1/2 inches. When I started my piece, i discovered that my tools are waaaay to large for my desired end product. The biggest problem was my lining tool. its not fine enough. I am going to buy smaller round steel and make small tools to work with. Here is my experimentation in preparation for my piece:
realized that my design needed to be flipped so that it goes the direction i want it to. So above is reversed of what the final will look like.
So far i think i really like this process. It has a lot of possibilities which i like. Eventually i want to be able to set a stone with chasing a repousee. I saw some diagrams in a book on chasing and repousee that set a stone and it looks super awesome!
