Peggy-B,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I want to say a big thank you for offering to send me some of your buffalo snow<\/a> for the faux opal tutorial<\/a>. I have sent my address to you and will look forward to receiving your envelope. If I manage to do this tutorial I’ll send you a few beads in appreciation for your enabling me to participate in this lovely technique. <\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Now that I have had a go at these faux opals, I am sending the copper wire wrapped opal heart pictured above, to Peggy Barnes<\/a> in appreciation of her generosity.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

When I made this Faux Opal, I did not have the Bake and Bond, so I used Fimo Decorating Gel… a bit messy but not too bad. When they were cooked, I put into iced water. Then decided to save on sanding by putting them in my tumbler overnight. WHAT A MESS! <\/em>There was sticky goo over all my pebbles and a milky sticky residue on the beads.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So now I did what I was supposed to do in the first place… SAND, SAND, SAND. I now quite like them. But before I try again, I will have to find some B&B. As after reading all of the comments<\/a> again, I realize there is no substitute.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
