Cuff Links for a birdwatcher

December 17, 2020 By Carol

by Carol Money

These cuff links were made for my brother-in-law’s 60th birthday (which was back in March 2020!) and are now ready to send (Dec 2020).  He is an avid bird watcher and photographer.

The inserts are enamelled using white powder as a base and then painted with enamel overglaze paints and fired again.  They represent day and night with a skylark and a barn owl.

The fastening devise is all hand fabricated using round wire put through the rolling mill, sawing to achieve good corners, soldering and rivets for the rotating piece.
