A Promise I had to Keep

I promised I could make cuff links... Never had I made cuff links, Had no idea how to make cuff links, Oh Lord, What did I get myself in???
Well, they aren't perfect. I tell my children all the time that Nature is not perfect, we are not supposed to be perfect and by all means our creations, our art work is not supposed to be perfect either. So why then did I lose sleep over these? Have no idea but I sure did. They weren't the same size, one weighed more than the other, one was flat and one was bumpy. Oh why why why did I promise to make these. And to say the least the links themselves are quite pricey. I cant remember exactly what I paid for them but I remember thinking "is this lady sure she wants to spend this much money?, she must be a little nuts...or either she has a boat load of cash stashed ". Anyway the cuffs are made from fine silver , molded using two small children's fingerprints. I stamped their names and birth dates on the inside.

After much stress and worry , I now can look at them with pride and smile. I actual think they may be one of my favorite pieces.
