I recently purchased 20 pairs of cuff link blanks.
The goal here is to craft these little guys into epic emblems of individuality – little accents of irreverence to be worn by an otherwise tied, pressed, and primmed Mike D. The three pairs that I already own are: Rockstar insignia, Scrabble Pieces, and Veloceraptors (link to pics). The top of my new blanks are 10mm in diameter, so I have plenty of room to glue fun tops that surpass the awesomeness of my purchased french cuff frills.
With the help of a few friends, I’ve come up with the following ideas:
Tiny cupcakes
Guitar Picks
Tiny Battle Star Galactica Raptors (spaceships)
Circuit boards
Legos
Tiny Nintendo Controllers
Typewriter letters
Tiny gears and/or mechanical linkages
Do you have any recommendations?
A Small image of an Ocelot.

Half of Sander on one, the other half on another (due to his large size)
Master Chief’s Helmet
Small Steaks and/or bacon pieces
Something to do with your IQP and MQP locations
Thats just off the top of my head
Wow! These are totally excellent.
How about just two granite rocks for climbing(granite somehow seems like a good climbing rock).
This is brilliant. I will definitely do this.
shurikens/nun-chucks
individual planets or model solar system
atomic orbitals
frisbees
vinyl albums

functional timepiece/compass/thermometer/etc.

“8ofBass”
minesweeper mines
magic eye picture (good luck making that work)
Was there a GRSIOGR logo?
These are good ideas. Individual planets would be especially sweet I think!
Jesse informs me that yes. There is such a logo. he has provided it:

a small setup with a speaker on one with a wire running the the other that has a few tiny buttons, with a circuit board attached to your belt so you can rock out aat any time.
I totally meant the Battlestar Galactica Viper by the way. not the raptor.
Not something that you should make, but a way that you could carve it:
scratch in your design with a sharp pointy piece of metal. Then rub Silver Black into the entire front of the cufflink, then polish it off. Scrimshaw!!
3-D Diamonds carved into the metal. Imagine how classy you’ll feel…
