    Wow, everyone, thanks so much for the responses! I haven't checked
    my Ganoksin in a while (but now that I'm sitting in a hotel room at
    JCK I have ample time whilst resting my weary feet), and didn't see
    an immediate response, but did manage to arrive at some of the ideas
    you all have presented. 

    The best resource has been a book titled Prop Builder's Molding &
    Casting by Thurston James, which I purchased at Tap Plastics
    (www.tapplastics.com), which also sells molding supplies, and, as
    the name suggests, all varieties of plastic. I've found this store to
    be a great resource for many things, and definitely recommend the
    book above. It's given me lots of ideas not only for jewelry, but for
    making all kinds of fabulous visual merchandising objects. 

    I haven't actually molded my tealeg yet (can we say procrastinating
    on an annoying project?), but as soon as I do, I'll let you know what
    method worked best (or didn't!) Thanks so much everyone!
