22. Bronze hanging wire was silver-soldered out of sight on the back.
21. All done. Growing out of the ground (bottom part), it lovingly clutches it's offspring, with a built-in umbrella to protect it from sun and rain.
20. Getting it to fit just right.
19. Planishing the pod, using that same stake.
18. One of the first stakes I ever made, on the left, is the perfect shape for forming the pod.
17. That pod-type bulge in the middle of the stem called for something in it. I found this "lingam stone" online, the perfect shape, and the colors are good too.
16. Seams silver-soldered.
15. Silver-soldering seams.
14. Trying to make this part of it a little more interesting, I put some curvature into it.
13. Now I have to contend with this weird nonsensical three-pointed star shaped thing. Using the stake shown on the left, I do some rounding and smoothing.
12. After a LOT of hammering, I got everything fit together well enough to silver-solder the seams.
11. I discovered that the two points of the folded-over parts would fit perfectly into the triangular opening at the base of the stem. 
10. In this picture, the seams of the cylindrical parts have been silver-soldered. 
9. For the bottom part I got the sudden inspiration to fold it over on top of itself. It all happened so fast, I didn't get any pictures of the process.
