    First test piece today - be gentle.
    My workshop is so brutally cold, it was a joy to have a warm face. Bit alarmed at how the whole unit got hot, but was fine. Didn't have the gloves, so used tweezers to hold it while I burnished. Found agate burnisherway better than metal (both ball and curved). Def going to buy another agate burnisher as it gets toasty so quick. It really is cold enough that I was able to cool the agate down with my hands pretty fast. Easy triangles this time, Mr got me new scalpel blades today, so will be able to try fancier stuff now. I hope ;-)

    That's a very impressive result Lydia, much enhance by the deadly platinol. Hope to see what you do next, Dennis.

    Bit the bullet and ordered a sheet from Cookson, can't wait to try it.
    Love the pendant Lydia.

    thanks! I can't wait to do round 2 and see how you find it too - next couple of bits are a bit more adventurous. Got to get some commissions finished first before play time though!

    Lydia - how many times did you have to heat up/pickle the silver before you applied the gold?
    Thanks
    Theresa
