Oh yea, I dont have a heat gun either so I missed that step hehe A cheap place to get the Fimo gell is staedler, its in the phone book under wholesale stationary. just phone them up and tell them you will make a cash sale. Normally the stuff sells for round $20 a bottle but I got it for $7. maybe if all the girls order together itll be worthwhile. The outlet is in Mairangi bay for memory. I wouldnt be able to pick it up as I dont drive Just an idea

I DRIVE! Is that why you ladies are all SOOO talented - no way to trip off to the shops or for coffee - gotta spent all your time on your craft instead of getting distracted? LOL
Those eyes are gorgeous, Lindi. I love your wee elf head. that reminds me, got some pics to take. . . .

well, there goes that theory then. no point getting rid of the car. guess I'll have to figure out a way to not need any sleep - I seem to have built a pretty strong immunity to caffeine.

WOW, wonderful job Lindi. Where do you get the irises? Tails, if you can chase some fimo gel up around here would you get me one too, or share a bottle? I expect it'll last forever with the few eyes we make. I bought a special heatgun from the US but can't use it as the transformers are so expensive, so I'll have to send it back ;-(

zigzags 's price i for $15 though it would be nice if I can get it for $7 but I don't live on the north-shore so will have to ask someone I know if the might but first I'll have to see if the still stock it at the moment I'm distracted with other bits and bobs

Thanks for looking that up Kimmie. Unfortunately no, it needs to make 110-115V out of our 240V, a transformer would do that but it needs to be able to supply 1000W as well, and that turned out to be expensive...
