I received my Austro-Hungarian badge today

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!

Thanks! I came across this one on Ebay, from an Austrian seller. It's about 5 x 3 cm, slightly larger than most of my badges. The Swedish ones are usually from goodwill and vintage stores around here.

Never seen those, they look great! Very tempting, I must say.

The death's head, the grenades, the lettering...I'm envious!

I'll keep my eyes open for one.
