| This one has been on the back burner for awhile, but after I figured out how to install the tuners (glass beads) and since I was working on the Conquistador guitar (dichroic stringers and black grout), I went ahead and worked on this one at the same time. |

| OHMYGOODNESS, SILVA!!!! This one is my favorite. Looks soooooo sexy. The black rocks are so shiny - what did you use to seal it? This one is simply GORGEOUS!!!!! Absolutely LOVE it. |
|
| Oooh thank you SLOW! I sealed it with regular grout sealer but then I varnished it with Liquitex glossy varnish. |

| I love love this one .Great job !!! |
|
| That is absolutely beautiful! I love your color choices. It's very subtle. I think my favorite bit is the full necklace.So eye catching and lovely. |
|
| SOOOOOOOOOOOO Sexy looking in the striking black> I had to just sit and stare at it...it is so beautiful!!! How on earth do you grout around the jewelry findings? |
|
| Thanks, you all! oldcrafty, it isn't easy, grouting around all that stuff. All different levels. I just keep working at it, using various techniques. I use sponges, then fingers, then a cotton cloth, toothpicks, and sometimes even a little makeup brush. Finicky work. |

| Yeah, I've also come back for second and third looks. SILVA - you really did a number on this one. It is so over the top gorgeous I can't quit looking at it. I LOVE the glossy look too. Re tools - a toothbrush and sometimes a metal brush helps. I seem to always create grouting nightmares too. Do you have a buyer for this one? |
|
| SLOW, I wanted to sell it but my daughter wants it, so maybe the next one ... |
