    The charming gentleman, who sold me the dragonfly without wings and the dragon previously posted I kyratised, sent me this unfinished little critter as a gift:happy:
    Cleaned, polished, removed wax in side holes, then.... find some stones (multicolor sapphires) to fill the settings, coloring and gluing!

    I know superglue isn't recommended by costume jewelry restorers, but I use it for all my repairs! The one for glass, rather thin/fluid, pour a drop on a piece of tinfoil and apply a tiny droplet with a wooden toothpick before putting the stone in place with jewellers pinch or nail art embellishments applier (looks like a wax pointy crayon!).
