Cherry Blossom and Dragonfly Tsuba Pendant part 3

Above, removing more out of the center area, and texturing it as I cut it away.

Here, starting to round the branches (at 9 o’clock on the pendant), and relieving the rear wings of the dragonfly.

Continuing on with the branches, and carving on the flower at 8 o’clock.

Above, carving on the branch at left, and sculpting the first flower. Also carving on the dragonfly tail and the nearby small cherry branch.

Here it is with a quick patina on the metal.
