Default a little chicken

This is a little over an inch in diameter. Started out as a silver 30mm square x 1.2mm in thickness, polished it, engraved it, hand pierced it into it's current disc shape, and then stippled it as it was too shiny to make out the chicken. The stipple gave it a bit of contrast. This is a pendant I've made for my wife.....she has a thing for chickens.....I know, don't ask. Anyway I'm truly happy with the way it turned out. I went a little harder and deeper than I normally do with the airgraver and it made all the diference.
