Yikes. Searched for some of these books and yep the paperbacks are still in the hundreds. One I found for 30 in tatty shape on amazon, and another...
Rip. Great to learn, thank you all! I did think ivory at first but figured as Bluumz did that it was plastic. Wasn't sure though! I thought...
Fantastic, thanks for the breakdown! Very helpful all of you.
Right? That's what I was thinking. I didn't think it was iridescent enough.

Hi all, hope the new year is treating you well so far! I'm considering this piece as a little birthday present, although my sensible side will be...
Yep that was my thought, but wanted to make sure! The more you know. Thanks again all!
These bits here. I would have thought that when using gold, you just round it off than use extra to do something like that. I've just not seen...
