Experimenting with Silver Granulation

This video shows a way to create a look in Silver similar to an ancient jewelry technique called granulation. While I did not have a perfect outcome, it seems like with some adjustments to how I did this, I could produce some interesting designs. For materials I used 26 gauge (.41 mm) sterling round wire, and 22 gauge sterling sheet. I used hard paste solder for this project.
