When I finished my chasing and repousse piece in Tucson, I actually did not do one part and that is the rope that goes around the outside of the design.
Here is Val's sample and below that is mine.

Val's Teaching Sample for Lesson 2
My first copy of the 2nd Lesson
When I was asked about it being missing I admitted that I wanted to do the rope (not really but you have to do it if you are going to learn) but I was not confident that I would not get it a perfect as the rest of the piece. What I said I wanted to do was, when I got home I would make a practice piece of circular and straight ridges and practice the making the rope(s) so I knew I could do it correctly.
And that is what I am working on now.
Last weekend I lined and started the repousse for the practice piece. Today I expect to finish the repousse and start the chasing of the rope. When I am done with my ropes then I will make another sample of this piece in copper. Once that is done, THEN I will do a variation of this piece in silver. The variation has more ropes as detail and it is domed a bit.
