I began the filigree work, using the pattern shown above. At first, I partially soldered each section, as it was completed, but, then, put it down to lack of interest or,dare I say it, laziness, I started getting overconfident. As a consequence, (not unexpected) a slip of my hand caused all of the wires to pop out! Of course, this caused me to throw my hands in the air in frustration and down tools for a period so I could lie in bed, with the covers over my head, in a state of depression!Well, not really! But I did stop and rethink! I decided that I needed to add more large wires, creating smaller sections of filigree.
P.S Please forgive the first picture. It was taken with my cell phone, very badly!
