Not every project is a success, but let me ensure you I would never experiment with a client object.

But anyway, my plan was to try to inlay pure silver then darken the steel dial with chemicals. As you see on the 2nd. photo it did not work well. But luckily I could polish it all up again and shade the the leafs and leave the silver a tiny bit more bright. Not even close to what I would want, but still I think I saved it pretty well. But if making it like this from the start, I would choose different leaves.

I´m sure I will try again, at some point.. but for now I leave this one as it is in the experiment drawer, work on other projects and when the need is there, I´ll try a different way.
