Oh Ofilia, that sounds divine! Do you have a picture?

Wow, a tool chest would be perfect for the long BE rods. Wish I had the room. In my next house.....

Can overlap or just do patched of the two metals if you want.

I also like to use that sheet that is French vanilla, an opal orange and the aventurine opal green... sorry, don't know name BE gives this color combination, but it's super cool after striking. Initially, it looks more like an Irish flag, with the colors looking more close to primary colors, but after striking, the orange gets a nice rich coral color, and the sparlies in the green aventurine really are tantilizing! You spot it with random spots of just a transparent clear, and you THEN layer the foils over it..... YUM! Very organic, of course, but I love the colors. This opal color sheet is so rich, that adding some random spots of transparent, just illuminate those lucious striations of colors!
