Happy Birthday John

I made this silver belt buckle for my brother's 40th birthday--it's my first try at silversmithing and it was a LOT OF FUN! I know it's not perfect but I am really happy with it, and I hope he likes it! The images have a personal significance, the cowboy is the Wyoming logo, and the background is based on the view a few blocks from our cabin in WY, it's called chimney rock (I have a few pics of it in my stream). I carved it in wax and then it was molded and silver was poured into the mold.

 

ps. the pink and green glints are reflections of stuff above it.
