sterling silver bookmark

[annelito.livejournal.com]

i have made a bookmark in silver. i sawed out this design (a cat's head) from silver sheet and polished, engraved and soldered a silverloop (?) to the side of the head. then i put a leatherstring through the silverloop and at the end of the leatherstring i turned a piece of silverthread/silverwire (?) into a spiralform to give it something extra to the end. i think this took me about 5 hours to make...i'm a slow learner...
