I have the clasp and transition from the piece to the chain figured out. Still have to drill the holes and rivet each link. I tried melting the tip of the teardrop shape into a little ball but at times that wasn't giving me the effect I wanted so the final piece is the mix of the too. Another problem that I ran into was having an adequate riveting hammer. I ordered one specifically for this project and when the shipment came in, the hammer was missing from the order. For not have the correct hammer, I feel the rivets came out fairly decently. The top transition pieces are soldered onto the main piece. The other two main large pieces will be tube riveted to add a more three dimensional quality to the piece.
When adding the texture I wanted to obtain the feel that the water is rushing downward kind of like a waterfall or water dripping down a person. I put the texture more concentrated at the top because I feel the rushing water would be the heaviest or thickest there and hen thin out as it spreads. I decided to use sharpie because I wanted a drawn, medium crisp look. Nothing about water is clear and precise so I didn't want the texture to feel that way.
