I told you I'd post it

And here it is:
Gilderoy's Order of Merlin



Made with wood, Filmo clay, brush-on gold leaf (in hindsight, gold paint would've worked just as well) and Photoshop for the ring around the outside*. I still have to make a couple of loops of copper wire to attach it to the ribbon, and sew the ribbon at the ends.

*Wait, I mean I used Photoshop to create the text, then printed it on thick paper and glued it onto the medal. I didn't mean I just Photoshopped it in the picture.
