Post subject: | inlay highlighting tips please |
I am doing a very basic star desin for my logo, made from shell, I want to highlight it by simply making three lines conecting the ouside points to the inside points. I have scratched the lines into the shell,I tried a childs marker , then a sharpie, but when i wipe the excess off the surface, it cleans out the scratched lines as well, maybe someone can give an idea of the process that works for them , thanks Jody |

I'd suggest contacting Grit Laskin himself!. He'll soon tell you if other colours are available (..given his beautiful work, might even have other suggestions how to achieve what you want.) |
