Meanwhile, back on the ranch.....
Oct. 14th, 2003 01:34 pmFirst sewing, now working on some tribal jewelry.
On the advice of a very good family friend of ours, Mrs. T, I have been coating my tribal jewelry with a brand of laquer she suggested. I tried it out on one piece a few months ago, and it worked like a charm. The greenish/black/bluish skin stains that was happening with the gillit metal stopped. So, now I have been coating the backs of all tribal jewelry that will be touching skin. It might get worn off after repeated wearing, but it's not like it's backbreaking work to coat them again.
