BEAUTIFUL! I ADORE the one with blue and the faux pearl. What a lovely idea! :) How do you keep them together? I'm never able to find glue that holds plastics together with metal well. :(

And the model has SUCH preeeety hands. ;)

I've done some experimenting and messed up my fair share. So far the best I've found is called Zap-a-Gap...and it comes with this really handy skinny curved applicator so I can get it in just the right spot and not glue my fingers together. My dremel has come in handy with this new obsession too....got to dremel all the buttons to the right depth to fit with eachother. Hard to hold the little suckers though with pliers...they like to jump away.

Hmmm. Never heard of Zap a gap. I'll have to keep an eye out for that. Watch those fingers missy! Dremmel meets fingers = baaad. I got my finger all caught up in a drill cord/bit and to this day my nail grows split. Real girls have scars. ;)
