As it sits today.
 
Very cool! I have a dumb question. I keep seeing that little logo that you have on the neck. What is it from?

From Wikipedia:

Kokopelli
is a fertility deity, usually depicted as a humpbacked flute player (often with feathersor antenna-like protrusions on his head), who has been venerated by some Native Americancultures in the Southwestern United States. Like most fertility deities, Kokopelli presides over both childbirth and agriculture. He is also a trickster god and represents the spirit of music.

You've clearly never been to Utah/Arizona/New Mexico. You can't turn around without seeing Kokopeli or the Lightning Bear on every surface.

That is correct! Closest I've been to that area is CO, which is obviously not really similar at all haha
 
Paint layer underneath, since metal leaf is so thin, it can react to what shades are under it, it's 2 different leafs, Copper and Silver, first layer tarnished (purposely with acrylic mediums), small sections of new leaf for the contrast, finished in semigloss with neck in satin for protection, looks rough, but nice and smooth.
