Lovely day working in the garden picking up palm fronds...finished another cuff, as well as a requested pair of cufflinks.

eyeball cuff
I do not know how to solder.....only theoretically....but i took my book knowledge and tried anyway. Voila! i silver soldered the copper bezel for the eyeball, and i have to say it turned out ok., and i only had to do it twice! the bezel sides were a little thick, but it smooshed up around the eye enough to hold it in place. I put the bezel in a cup of used pickle and then added some steel wool to the pickle...it wasn't instantaneously, but indeed, it did copperplate the silver solder. |

shotgun shell brass cufflinks
These are for Sky. He asked for some cufflinks. I didn't know anyone still wore them..... The cufflink stem part is bronze...it is embedded in ice resin that was colored with aztec gold mica. Next i am going to make him another pair out of thrift store star wars parts...

Your soldering looks perfect to me. (by the way, where do you get your eyeballs?) I think it's really cool that Sky wears cufflinks.
