New ship brooch

Just a quick photo to show I've made some more ship brooches.  3 hours to make two - not bad, that's the same as it took me to do the single one previously!  Using solder paste instead of chips has made a massive difference.  I love the way the open wirework came together - I'm getting better at making smooth shapes and marrying them up.  I might try using it in more pieces, perhaps some shapely dangly filigree earrings. 

I need some better surfaces to beat things on, but I don't mind the texture too much.  I'll try and take better photos later.  Now, time for sleep, though my neighbours make that impossible in my house...
