domed flowers

figure 1

Used 0,1 mm thin silver.used a compass to mark the circle 2mm diameter. Used my tin snipps to cut the circles out as shown in figure 1,it was easy to cut through thin sheet however the metal is very sharp,used needle files to round them off.

figure 2

I used small ball punches and doming blocks to make the little domes as shown in figure 2.
figure 3

figure 3 shows 7 domes placed upside facing down so i could solder from the back.

figure 4

figure 4 shows the flowers made. from the right is the first attempt and this got better by the second and third flower.
