yes, it's true, i'm using some nickel silver...

    if it makes you feel any better i haven't EVER used nickel silver -
    it's why i actually have a few sheets of it lying around and after
    running out of sterling, i went for it. i've literally had these
    sheets for oh, ten years or so... besides, it's helping keep the cost
    of these little "crafty" items down and hopefully, make them
    available to more people. i'm not out for fine art with these, just a
    fun, creative way to keep income coming in. 

    ANYWAY... now that i've overjustified my use of nickel silver
    here... *snicker* 

    is there ANY way to oxidize the stuff? standard liver of sulphur
    doesn't seem to be working. 

    if you've got any thoughts, do respond - and if possible include my
    email address in the reply - i'm on digest and will definitely be
    sifting through for an answer but i'd love you forever if you could
    make it easier for me. 

    btw - i've been on and off of orchid for YEARS - it's good to be
    back. :-)
