This page may have an affiliate link or two (or 20! ha!). You might be wondering why in the world you should bother making a purchase through my affiliate links? To me, affiliate links are a way for the seller, of a product, to say thank you to the person (me) who tries their product, likes it, and tells others about it. This, I feel, is only fair. Your information, what you buy, and any personal or public information is never shared with me. All you are doing is getting a great product and helping a starving (yet, still fluffy) artist continue to provide this free service! From the bottom of my heart, thank you!

I love zoom filters! Thank you Erhan!!! Glad we could be of some help!
Luxi polishing compound is AWESOME!!!
I am curious if you could sweat solder copper chop onto a copper pendant? Would give it a chunky look, sort of like working with a silver piece adding silver dust.
Sounds like an experiment is coming your way!!! Have fun. Thanks
