also on the bench

but STALLED...

i keep re-applying and removing liver of sulpher and can't get this to look good.


this is the "treasure box". eh, mostly a disappointment. the flat beach stone will look good, but i need to order little half-drilled pearls for the top 3 posts (the ones i have don't sit properly because they hit the back). and finally, that center section was supposed to be resin with hand-harvested mica chips. when i ran some tests with resin and mica, the mica goes invisible-it looks like just resin, so i have to figure out the path forward on that center section....
