    Custom made "stone", not a true repair, I only thought this antique pastes dog collar slide (big boy... 2.6" wide, 30 grams!) needed a complement to wear it as a pendant????.
    Made with crumpled compressed tin foil adapted to the size, one layer of UV curing hard resin, colored with brown permanent marker, a thin layer of " galaxy staring" nail UV gel and finally another coat of UV resin.
    It gets in force in place and is secured from the back with small points of resin, so I can get it off with no damage to the mount if needed.
    Now looks like boulder opal ;-)

      Aww, thank you Eileen!
      Yes old and BOLD... Ladies needed a girafe's neck to wear such a beast as a dog collar :-)) Perhaps the reason it is in as new condition...

      The Cabochon that you made for this piece, but even without was still a winner. Love what you did, and I know when you create something new from a piece there is a magic there that when you are young especially, you feel top of the world. I have a whos that coming up, hope you catch it. This piece now is a true winner, no limit to your talent !~

      This piece looks really big- it'd make a great statement piece, but I can't help wondering is she more of a bee shape rather than a butterfly shape?! I think it's the long body that makes me think bee but its very nice- the green eyes and the green/brown stone are great!

      I so much love your improved version. A stunner and typically excellent kyratising!
    8. kyratango kyratango, 4 years ago
      Phil, thank you! It is always heartwarming to read your compliments! XO

      LaurenRedmond, thanks! It is the antennae which made me say butterfly... One or the other, I call all these critters BZZ BZZ :-D

      Karen, thanks! Right, this is only an improvement, and I too prefer it with a completed body ;-))

      Mary, thanks! Yes, it needed big beads to go with its jumbo size, lol!

      Love back to all of you, 18 BZZ BZZ lovers <3
