    I'd like to put a dome in the pieces to give them a curve, Jenny,
    you might try Jo Ann Fabrics (or the like) for a big wooden craft
    ball, about 2 inches in diameter. It has a small flat bottom with a
    hole going about halfway up inside the ball. A wooden skewer (or the
    like) stuck into the hole, with the other half stuck into something
    else, should keep the ball stable long enough for doming. This
    doesn't replace my mushroom stake, but it's cheap and easy. 

    Another possibility is to make yourself a sand-bag and sink, rather
    than dome, the jewelry piece. There are lots of wonderful suggestions
    as to how to easily make sandbags, in the Orchid Archives of a few
    years ago. The second-hand leather purse is probably the simplest.

It sounds like fun!
