Silhouettes

I'm taking a jewelry making/metalsmithing class this semester. We have just begun working on our first project, a silhouette bracelet. It is made of one image that is repeated and layered three or more times. They can be different sizes, metals, or textures. It was a process finding the right silhouette, as a lot of images lose their complexity/interesting quality once the details are blacked out.

I ended up with a sparrow on a branch, but I'm not all together happy with it. It doesn't seem original enough or dynamic enough. It is a first project though, and maybe with enough textures and contrasting metals it will look more interesting.

Anywho, here's a picture of the template I'm using:

More updates to come when I have actual progress.
