Matzoh cuff links

[Nowandagain]

In honor of Passover, I made these cuff links in the form of hand made (round) matzoh. I tooled some veg tan vachetta to create the texture, used a diamond stitching punch to simulate the perforations, then colored them with a combination of acrylic and alcohol-based markers. The edges were singed to simulate the burnt edges of the matzoh, then burnished with Tokanol. Not bad for a one-afternoon project.

I love the idea, but can't make out any details.  The picture is blurred.  Do you happen to have another picture?

Yep, you might be a good leatherworker but a lousy photographer.

Working on becoming a middling leather worker again (more on that if I ever get around to writing my profile)  but definitely a lousy photographer. I’ll see if my wife can take some shots of the cuff links.

Here is how they came out when my better half shot them.

Very cool.  Thanks for updating the photos.
