Working with Granules

After playing around with granulation, I decided that calling it granulation was an insult to the years of practice that it takes to master the technique. While what I was doing is a from of granulation, it was not even close to the intricate nature of granulation in the pieces of jewellery I had been looking at. So from here on, I'm going to refer to my work with granules as decorative granule work.   

Pictured below are two more pictures for the practice pieces I did while trying to figure out the technique.
