Right... here is the disc ring - now named the brazier.
The plan is, to LOS the inside of the disc and then engrave curls like on my bracelet www.etsy.com/listing/41121324/bracelet-of-the-fey-silver-...
The curls rising above it will be silvery, partly polished, as will the top part of all the settings for the small sapphires. However, now for the last big desicion: Where to put the individual tube settings?

As you can see there is a lot of tedious, time-consuming work involved in gourd carving. Where it has been carved out, it has been sanded smooth by hand. Some of the gourd was carved with my dremmel and other, more intricate areas with my Xacto knife.
Will post the next progress shots either tomorrow (Easter Day) or Monday.
Have a wonderful Sunday and Happy Easter to all!

Not really attempting to capture the actual colors of this one, but going for something a bit more period. This, for those of you who are particularly nerdy, is where Amy Pond was running when Canton Everett III chased her in Dr Who...
Only two colors added so far over the white. Mineral Orange over the table, and in areas on the fruit. In the black spaces, the deepest shadows, I've softened up the dark paper with Black Grape. I'm going to warm up the shadows a little so they aren't quite so stark as bare paper.
