33. Using the special tool shown on the left to indent the seams of the spiral.
32. Silver-soldering the seams of the spiral.
31. The spiral formed, just needs the top end closed up.
30. Forming the spiral around the same mandrel, this time overlapping it on itself.
29. The tape pattern, above, and the brass piece cut out and annealed, below.
28. I used a knife to cut the tape on the pencil line, starting to peel it off the mandrel.
27. Starting the horn. To get a pattern, I covered a tapered mandrel with masking tape and marked a spiral on it with pencil.
26. After annealing, I filled it with sculpture wax, for doing the rest of the texturing, forming the mouth, and hoping to curve the trunk some more. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of these processes, and the trunk did not want to curve much mor
25. Annealing again.
24. The results of the work done since the last annealing. 
23. Held on a small domed stake on the part just pushed out, and hammered to push it in below.
22. pushing out the upper part of the ear.
21. Giving the ears some three-dimensionality, starting with an indentation to suggest an ear opening.
20. Using that hammer on a special stake shaped the same way, shaping the trunk and texturing it at the same time.
19. A hammer I reshaped to do the step shown in the next picture.
