I know you said that there are things here that you would do differently, but know that it looks really great.<br /><br />You're using supplies that I don't work with, so much of the terminology is a little lost on me. For example, when I first read the title of the post, I thought it said "Ravioli coating experiment". I thought you were working with pasta!<br /><br />Keep up the wonderful work!Molliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05919005875185335727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9052855468880132303.post-24195533524402876662011-07-04T18:52:26.474+02:002011-07-04T18:52:26.474+02:00Thanks for your kind words!

I've got a couple of old crystal stones with worn foil and I've thought about somehow "repairing" them, but pehaps it's easier just to remove the rest of the foil and do something else with them instead. Will probably try saving them first and if that doesn't work I might as well strip it as they don't look nice the way they are right now...<br /><br />Here I used a clear rivoli. That means I've got one more clear stone and two topaz-coloured ones left. I'm especially looking forward to seeing what I can do with the coloured crystal.Manekihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13362626785474144154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9052855468880132303.post-62735053431543831052011-07-04T02:12:13.887+02:002011-07-04T02:12:13.887+02:00SO incredibly cool!SO incredibly cool!Pretty Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00285473788765783338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9052855468880132303.post-24928433506425691032011-07-02T05:26:21.531+02:002011-07-02T05:26:21.531+02:00Hi!

And then they are coated in gold or silver foil afterwards. <br />Should you ever want to remove foil from clear/gold foiled rivolis or any rhinestone, just soak it in a vinegar/kosher salt mix over night The foil will easily scrub off into the kosher salt or wipe off into the kosher salt/vinegar mix with a stir of a wooden stick or chopstick. I brush it off with a paper towel. Thank you for sharing your results! :o) I am inspired to try, now, too!!!Amber Dawn Inventive Soulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04461263097063796724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9052855468880132303.post-59224353015380834472011-07-01T21:16:28.057+02:002011-07-01T21:16:28.057+02:00I like them!
