I received my Austro-Hungarian badge today

[pimpinett]

and it's even better than I hoped it would be, especially after some polish. Photos tomorrow.

Am also bleaching bird and lemming bones for a pair of earrings to match the Carmen Miranda turban, which I will wear on Saturday if everything goes according to plan. Artificial cherries, buttons and bones.



Here it is!

Eek. What did you use for polish ? Toothpaste works best. I use it on all three iron crosses.

Häxan Silverputs. :) Has rather similar ingredients to toothpaste, actually. I've just brought out the raised bits, so the details can be seen more clearly.
