hi eva, read your comment about the paint. actually, i use water base paints, because i really didn’t want to use the smelly model type paint. i just use plaid (brand) metallic paints, and a wash of black to bring out texture, and i have just discovered a thin coat of wax helps bring up the shine on the stones, and protects the piece too. what a great site, i’m new at all this. callie

hi!
Cris Dupouy’s book is a great one for those who love ancient designs. I do love antique jewelry. ;-))
Coco Chanel showed a way of making some good reproductions. And I think You wrote a good post about Parrish relics didn’t you?
I’m a little upset with gold paint, and i know that metallic powder is not better, but it’s a little walk to metalsmith!
that’s a joke!
thank you for all you share!
see you soon!
