Here's the completion of yesterdays work.
My goal was to make a heart from steel, at least 90% recycled and with only cold connections (no soldering). I found some copper plated steel strapping and let the rest informed me as I went.
t came out about 99% recycled and maybe 90% cold connection
I soldered the pin back assembly perfectly - on the wrong side..., twice. So I went with it and switch the orientation of the front.
I wanted silver for the back but didn't have a piece of scrap that large so I used an old sterling spoon and ran it through the rolling mill.

hmmmm, there used to be pictures. wonder if they'll show up again.
I love this heart. Making jewelry is something I have never tried but it looks like it could be pretty fun. Nice work.
I need to try this again and see if I can get my name to show up instead of "anonymous."
So - do you see pictures in this post? I don't. I only have 3 minus signs where they used to be. Maybe it's because I deleted them from the cloud?
No, the pictures are gone - I can't see them from my phone or from my computer. Yeah, if you deleted them from the cloud that would do it, as likely this site only stores a link, not the actual image, to save space. - Megan your niece
Bobi, I didn't get to see your images. Hope you have another copy of them so that you can repost. It in intriguing me!! (PS I noticed many of your previous posts were lacking a photo now too. So you might want to check that…)
I think i have all my images re-deposited here. Wonder what made them *poof* away.
Megan!!! How fun to have you lurking here! Can I send you an invitation so you'll start making and sharing?
Well, the photos are now there! And it was worth the wait...Bobi, the piece is awesome! You are one talented metal artist!
