work in progress...

Sometimes I enjoy filing & find it to be most relaxing.  At other times, I wonder why I didn't file back the design when it was in its original, relatively soft clay form.  But no, I realise in hindsight that the design is marginally too think & am required to spend a fair amount of time filing it back in its newly formed silver state.  

There is still about another 2mm to file back before it is ready to have an earring post added to the back... the teeny silver filings sprawled all over my desk are however, a nice temporary byproduct.  Easing the pain of filing by a small fraction...
