Butterfly

A few years ago , I did a Design and Technology (Silversmithing) GCSE at the local Sixth Form College. It was great fun being among the 17-18 years olds with only a couple of mature students there. The work was all practical and the final exam was practical too split over a few days for a few hours each time. I'd decided to make a butterfly as my final piece and its been sitting in a drawer ever since. I finally decided to tumble it clean being worried that the antenna would somehow fail but the larger of the two pairs of wings came apart instead. I took the bull by the horns yesterday and resoldered them on but suspect I should have soldered them below the front wings this time.

I made every part of it and left the wings seperately attached to the body so that the wings would wiggle. Here's the back,

We also had to submit all the items we'd made during the year. I was very pleased to get an A.
