Caterpillar Bracelet

 I am very pleased with the results of this Sterling Silver Bracelet. I call it my caterpillar bracelet because it reminded me of a caterpillar when I saw the photo that I took. 

I bought a sheet of 1ml sterling silver months ago and put off making anything for ages. One night I had a dream about this bracelet. When I woke up I did a quick sketch and then just went back to sleep. Then last week I found my sketch and started getting to work. I measured up the sheet, double checking everything, marked out the sheet and started sawing. Then I filed all my edges until they were smooth and rounded, drilled my connection holes, hammered each tile to texture them, made the jump rings and the catch and finally assembled it.   

The Photograph does not do the bracelet justice but in the end I thought I may as well post it on my blog.

It is featured at the Candlenut Gallery in Port Douglas.
