Welllll…..What a pants idea that was! The crystal application is proving most crappy. I have burnt myself a number of times and dropped more crystals on the floor than I’ve managed to adhere to the copper, oooh….and its giving me a backache! The crystals are hot fix and i am using an embossing tool to heat them up in order for them to stick. In effect the embossing tool is no more than a hairdryer which just blows out hot air (very hot) because of this i have to hold the crystals onto the copper and quickly angle the tool over the crystal without it blowing away! This is proving to be extremely time consuming not to mention frustrating! It is coming along though…. I have moments when i think is it bloody worth it, it seems a pointless task when at certain angles the light bounces off the copper and the crystals are barely noticeable. But then i catch it at the right angle and it looks so beautiful,it is this which is pushing me to complete it.
