I was at my local Michael's store, which is similar to Hobby Lobby, and was wandering the aisles. Dangerous, I know. I stopped in the candle making section looking at the beeswax granules. I noticed they also carried soy wax granules. The soy wax was about $10 less than beeswax for the same weight. Has anyone used soy wax with mineral oil for a finish? Any thoughts on using it as a substitute?
In Canada, it is actually illegal to ask for the SIN, Social Insurance Number. That is only to be given/used for income tax purposes. I never give that info out.
I learned that the best way to open the ring is to twist it so it maintains the round. So when I make earrings, I will use small needle nose pliers one on each side of the joint and twist. Hope this makes sense.
That is a stunning piece of work.
I have used hand made paper for a couple of lamps that I have made. It provides a nice soft glow.
Can you provide the link for the pattern. I am very partial to dragonflies and would love to cut that pattern.

On other sites that I am on, they make a loop of painters tape, stick it to a board, then the small pieces on top. Saves from them blowing away. Others have used the spray glue instead of the tape. Spray a board, then attach the small pieces.
