And I have the Firefly boxed set, so don't talk to me about being weird - I've got that one covered ;-) Oh, I love that last one.

I'd have to buy 1 inch head pins and I'd only be using a tiny bit of the length. I basically make my own ball end headpins when I use silver rivets. It's just challenging to get the ball ends reasonably uniform. I think it's a matter of practice. I need to sit down one day and make a big pile of them. I'm lazy and I have been enjoying the cheap pre-made copper and brass rivets. Not a bad idea Christine, but too pricey.

Karen, I don't find the resin hard to use at all. You have to watch for bubbles. The other great tip I learned was to save the extra resin and cup you mixed the resin in. Then when you want to check if the resin is dry, you can safely poke the extra resin instead of risking ruining your lovely piece. It's fun stuff! Thanks for all the nice comments.

Forgive my ignorance about resin but is it challenging to use? I've never used it before. -Karen Hi Libby, Your new pendants are fabulous and the shiny surface really makes the colors pop!

And I did watch Firefly - it was great. And I miss Farscape too. Very cool Libby :) Can’t wait to see them in person.
