Well I got my pendant backer from Richard and just had to play, grabbed a couple of scraps and away i went. I left lots of room for improvement. Walnut and pink and white cz's, for my 10 year old grandaughter and walnut, maple, and star ruby for my grandson. both have a simple BLO finish. I have 5 other grandchildren that will want one also so I will get to play and practice some more. Comments welcome. Mike
