Draped Pendant

This is a pendant made with sterling and 24k gold foil. The gold foil was applied, then the form was created in a swage block and then I textured the form. I added a wire swirly bail and a few fine silver balls and called it 'done'...but now I'm thinking of reworking the bottom part - just seems to bare down there.
