Christmas Project - Day 6 and a bit

After making good progress over the first part of this project, I've hit a bit of a wall. Partly this is due to the Xmas and New Year holidays, partly due to the fact that I'm in an artistic part of the build - an area where I am more than aware of my shortcomings.

I'm now trying to fit the copper tendrils into the silver cutouts, technically fiddly, but for me the more troubling part is getting them to look right.

Here's where I've got to so far...

I'm not convinced that this conveys the full organic look I'm going for from the copper 'tendrils' (event though I've rounded and flattened the ends to make them look a bit less mechanical') so I'm going to continue to play with the layout. I'd also like to send out an appeal to my many followers...(you know who you are :) ) for some feedback and advice about how I could possibly improve on the 'artisitc' aspects of the copper.
