I used 18 gauge sterling silver for this but you can make it also in copper ,bronze or brass.
I cut a 1 inch wide by 6 inch long strip from the sterling sheet. 3 wolfs were transfered onto the silver and cut out via jewelers saw and 1/0 saw blades . I soldered the wolfs onto the strip and then pickled it. Round the edges.
Start adding texture with chasing tools or if you don't have any use screw drivers and nails .
After adding the texture start bending by hand around a bracelet mandrel . I use a wooden one as that is what I prefer ( the steel ones marr the metal to much - at least in my experience. When you cannot bend anymore by hand use a nylon or rawhide mallet to hammer the bracelet into shape.
Satisfied with the shape ? Now you can begin the polishing . I have a large polishing machine ( one of the best investments I made )
After the pre polish I added patina ( mine is a brush on Lifer of sulfur ) stinks like rotten eggs but gives you a nice consistent dark patina. Polish again and voila done .
