ADVICE FROM THE PEANUT GALLERY
|
Kim,
This is a really hard step in the voting.
There are several here that I think you should do. I would make the
beads with the cane, so they match and coordinate with your amulet.
I would also make the attachment of the cord to the amulet with #6 (tabs
with the cane). I would definately also add your signature cane to
the bottom or some other place on the amulet....even to the
top of the inside, all depending on the
size of the signature cane and how it coordinates with the outside.
Then I would like to see the amulet to decide
if you should have
embellishments added. It is hard to
know until you see more of the amulet.
Also I found the picture of the amulet hard
to see on the last step....it was too small for my poor eyesight.....lol....
Good luck...it is looking so nice right now.
I love it. Also, I loved being able to vote and help in the selection
process.....fun!!!

Hi,
I vote for #4, #5 and #7 for the finished
rock purse. Gotta have that signature cane!! You
are doing a wonderful
job, keep up the good work.
Jan V
I vote for #6. This adds that special elegance to the
rest of the gown. Just the right trim for that special ROCK!
Again way to much fun.
Happy claying,
Jeanette
Hi,
I think having the cord tabs coordinate in
color is crucial to the final
look. I haven't been happy with mine when
they didn't.
Stacia
I'm not sure what you mean by edge when you ask about
solid clay or cane or foil. But I'm guessing I'd like the foiled clay...
#8
I also vote for #7, the caned signature
Also, #4 & #5.
I DIDN'T vote for #3 (texture).... although
I ordinarily like texture a LOT, I think that with the _type_ of
cane you're using, it would be too distracting. I don't like texturing
on top of mokume for that reason. Especially with ripple cut pieces...
you lose all the little nuances in the the dips & rises of the texture...
makes them hard to focus on. And the texture is not real easy to see either,
because the background is so varied.
Some times it can be a no win situation.
Just my opinion though! If I had never seen what you were going to cover
with... I would have voted yes to it right away.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~Joanie :o}
I enjoyed the vote and can't wait to see the finished
purse. Loads of luck to you. But somehow I think that your
purse will turn out beautiful. You have guts doing it for the whole
community... :o) I would be scared to death. LOL!
Let us know when you get done...I'll be there
for the unveiling.
Smiles,
