I settled with foam for these, FOR NOW. I still hate how crappy the edges are because I'm not good at cutting. And the design/painting is all smudgey and crappy but hey, these are just the first drafts. I'll get better once I continue making them, I'm sure.
lol @ me holding one like I'm gonna throw it OH GOD NO PLEASE NOT THE FOAM KNIFE
I decided I'm not going to sell these. They're just too low quality, I only want to try selling things that come out really good.
On the plus side I like the necklace enough that I'm gonna sell it for sure, and I'm going to make a necklace for each of the four nations too! Casey's idea, it's brilliant!
