I’m unveiling the Papa-made gifts (mentioned two articles ago) one at a time. Still savoring the sentimental side of the gifts as the pricelessness sinks in.
Sadly, my photographer and his lousy camera are stupids. He (I) couldn’t get a decent photo because he doesn’t know how to use the camera. Therefore, it is impossible to show how shiny the birth-year quarters for Balboa are. It is also impossible to show the truly violet color of the topaz crystals we hewed from Topaz Mountain and kept in the dark to keep them from bleaching white in the sun. Oh, the pics also fail to show the 21 drills bits and 3 grinding grits I used to make massive holes in the head of General Washington.

Those are AMAZING. I am willing to bet you that I can find a photographer who will do it for you, but the black and white thing worked out great with the contrasting due to light angles…
Hey Bri! those are beautiful. I know he probably felt like a king getting those. Can’t wait to see the rest!
okay, I guess the kids weren’t TOTALLY bummed on Christmas morn.
I have found a new NEED! Can I have a pair?
OMH. Where can I buy a pair?
Not sure if they can be bought anywhere, but they can be made in my basement. Let’s take our families to Topaz Mountain when it warms up and we’ll get some gems for the cufflinks we make for you and your boys.
