    No, the thing about anodised aluminium is that it has to be boiled to seal the surface. Until the surface has been sealed it's prone to deterioration in the atmosphere. To make it viable, the whole sheet has to be done at the same time. I don't think personalisation is possible unfortunately.

    Ooh! I forgot to tell you that the aluminium has arrived and I've made a start with it. I was going to screen print it but I've had a problem with processing the screen. I think I washed it too vigorously or something. By the end of the day I'm hoping I'll have some aluminium pieces to use. Fingers crossed!

    Sorry for the late reply Carole. I haven't actually given the pendant to my daughter yet. It's for when she's a little older (she's still only 11). I just loved the words to that poem.

    Hi Carole
    I'd go for simple things that people would like to give as gifts, like "...because you're special" or "with love always" you are my sunshine etc.

    Hope that helps
