    Some bottle stoppers

    My daughter is getting married in May and she ask me to make some bottle stoppers as party favors. So far I have 50 done -4 I sold for X-mas presents. Some I inlayed marbles and cab stones one I inlayed a dollar coin. Sorry about the pictures I have a cheap camera.

    Nice Work ~

    Les, I think the pictures look rather good. May I ask what type of finish you used on the stoppers?

    The stoppers (as well as the pictures) look great. The stone/embelishments really add something. And to do 50 of them! Yikes, I'm having a hard time doing 30 freedom pens!

    Yes I used marbles the ones we use to call shooters the bigger ones. The finish is 4 coats wipe on poly.
