Kat, is enamel baked onto a tile durable?

It makes perfect sense that this kind of crystal collar, whatever it is called, would be around at rock shops and such. I just don't know what to call it or I'd be able to do a search and figure them out. I'll poke around some online rock shops later and see what I can find in the odds and ends. Thanks for pointing me in that logical direction. I agree, taking a class in metal-working would be the best solution.

I've been clearing out and reorganizing our craft area during the past couple of weeks. I'm finding old projects, some finished and needing a frame, others works-in-progress, and then there are those things that are an accumulation of materials but the project never started. I think it's time to either do them or put them in a garage sale.

The kids will walk in the door any minute now, and I'd like to have some of this stuff out of sight if I don't plan to keep it. They're even worse packrats than I am, and might take it out of the trash or the garage sale pile again if they see some of the discards.

SRS
