Scrap in Style TV

Jeanette Herdman has a website called SIStv. You have to join but it is quick and easy. She has a webisode on making microscope slide pendants. I don't make them exactly the same. I use a third hand instead of having them flat on the towel. I think it get too lumpy. AND...never make them in an unventilated room. I kept getting really sick..like the flu..and then the penny dropped that it was me getting poisoned by the flux fumes. The pendants in the photo are ones that I have done for Erica.
