Question re Shell Jewelry Project |
|

|
I just got a shipment of shells that are pre-bored for jewelry |
|
but the outside of them is left somewhat natural and a little |
|
rough on most. Would you paint them with nail polish to better |
|
match the beads that will be on the necklace? These are the |
|
Kissitty clam shells sold on Amazon (and they're a good deal) |
|
and I will most likely put them on with glass beads that are |
|
pearl-colored. |
|
BTW, how do you upload photos? |

|
Could you paint them with a semi-transparent, shimmer nail |
|
polish, and then a clear topcoat? So that you could see the |
|
detail in the shell, but so that the colours harmonise? |
|
Re the photos: under the B button is a button to upload photos |
|
[so between the B and the first smiley], but if it's like eHell, |
|
you have to insert a hyperlink to a photo-hosting website |
|
[between the sets of square brackets], so: |
|
<IMG>insert weblink here</IMG> - but obviously the brackets will |
|
be square (I can't do them square, as they will vanish). |
|
I hope that helps, and really hope it doesn't come across as |
|
patronising; that is not my intention. :-[ |
