    Hi!

    Have you tried taking a tiny piece of 0000 steel wool and gently removing some of the patina? Be careful to avoid getting too close to the stones, but it will bring up the highlights of the coils of wire and leave the oxidation in the crevaces, there will then be less contrast between the two types of wire.

    Love, Jan
    Hi, Jan. thanx for the suggestion. I think I'll go ahead and try that, first, then I'll go for the "pickle" process to just kinda start all over...I, probably, won't bother for the initial "E" piece, tho...easily made again--but, I liked the other pretty well...thanx again!

    Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can.

    Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.

    John,

    Just wanted to say I've bought from your company twice and have been so pleased with my purchases. Your prices and shipping are fantastic. I'll be placing my third order for some tools I need for Beadfest in a few days. You rock.
