A while ago I was looking for a cancer awareness blank for a friends daughter. Well I got some great input wrt suppliers but the cost would have been quite high with shipping being more than the blank itself so I decided to make my own.
I ordered a Diva with purple stones as the color of the hodgkins Lymphoma is violet and this was the closest I could find.
I used a piece of Matumi as its quite easy to work with and has a sort of bluish tinge to it. I turned the blank down to close to what I wanted it and then hand carved the shape of the ribbon. I picked up some pixy dust glitter stuff at the local craft shop. Filled it using ultra thin CA and then turned to the final size. Sanded from 600 - 1200 and then MM to 8000 and a quick buff.
It has a real home made look to it :biggrin:
All and any C&C appreciated!
