Half Ounce Silver Ingot and Paracord Bracelets

Here are a couple of bracelets I recently finished.  I milled the leaves on the front and back of each ingot.  I think the patina on the metal looks great with the black paracord.  The oak leaves were from the Tonto Rim area of Arizona.  This location was much referenced in Zane Grey novels.  The leaves were collected near the location of his original cabin.

For my friends in Colorado!  :)  I believe this one is now in Boulder.

In the Works this Fine Day

The top photo is of a couple 1/2 ounce silver ingots I finished and will be making a couple of bracelets with.  The imprints, detail and patina came out really nice on these.  There are also imprints on the reverse side of these as well.  If you look closely, you will see some of the mint marks like 999 and silver.

There are some pieces for earrings and the top left two pieces of metal were cut from the same leaf imprint.  These were just some pieces that were small and I cut them down to somehow use them rather than pitch them in the circular bin.  The copper piece on the right will no doubt be hanging off of something soon.

The bottom photo shows pieces of metal and some drawings laying on my bench the other morning.  Do you see the texture that looks like tuck and roll upholstery?  I have plans for that, but I'm not going to let you in on it yet.  No, I'm not reconstructing seats for a late model Chevy..., but something to look through.  Hmmm, what will it be???
