This one's for @pearlescence how do you store your pearls, both before use and once you've set them in jewellery. Usually i store finished work in plastic bags to protect from tarnish.

Plastic bags. You'll find a lot of mystic-mumbo about pearls all over everywhere.Attachment 12585 This is a photo of just a few pearls in a wholesalers in Hong Kong. It's from my upcomng book Pearls, a Practical Guidee. (Crowood, next february)
Don't forget to do some self promotion when your book is out, Wendy.
I'm probably going to hold off on the big push until after Christmas. Though I think marketing it as a perfect valentine present is a stretch too far even for me. Couldn't resist that plug though.
For anyone who is interested - the photo shows the huge bags of strands of pearls. I'll go through a whole bag like that to select maybe one or two top good'uns. The only way to get the best pearls is to select yourself (or find someone who you can rely on to do the selecting for you). The bag are heavy. You have to be strong to deal in pearls!
Wendy that is such exciting news! I haven't started using pearls yet but looking forward to reading your book :)

Thank you! At the moment so do I. Have done the first pass at page proofs and am waiting for the second, corrected version.
