Steampunk Heart


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.
