Silver experimentation

It has been a long time since I have worked with silver, and I forgot how much work it is...so after quite a few frustrating attempts at making a bezel and sawing my croc, I was quite satisfied with the result, albeit unfinished!
Croc on the workbench



A lot of polishing still to do



I think I like it!
