Rough cast with trial finish

Casting went smoothly yesterday afternoon.  Iris and I were looked on favorably by the gods of metalworking and had successful casts.  Now the finishing and prong work.

Rough cast with stones in place

I just wanted to see how it looked with the stones in place. They give it an entirely different aspect.   What is not evident in the photo is the passage of light through the piece as it moves.  I am anxious to get this finished and stones set.
