"It's really important to see something unusual that grabs me." "Probably the first prominent feature that makes the difference between winners and also-rans is how finished the piece is. Are the ends of wires and head pins clean cut and tightly bent into place? Are there dents in the wires from working with pliers? If working with a high polish, is it bright and scratch-free?" | ||||
