rice writing necklace pendants

[Tarrah]

I recently found a new project I would like to dive into...rice writing jewellery.  I have done research on the internet, but information on "how to" are hard to come by.  What I did figure out, is that long grain rice is used, a waterproof technical pen, and a small glass vial which is filled with liquid, usually baby oil.  Well, at least this is only info I have found.  Does anyone else have any information on this necklace pendant and any "how to" pointer?   '>

Thank you, and have a great day!   '>

OMG! I have actually seen someone doing this in person. It was the coolest thing ever!
You have to be very careful and precise when writing on the rice. The tip of his pen was really thin, but whatever he wrote was very legible... He didn't actually have that many special equipments, pretty much using his hands and pen. But yes, he had bottles and liquid to put the rice in, in order to make it a pendant.

A jeweler's loupe or other magnifier would probably be mighty handy

We have even more styles of glass rice vials now, including some that are designed as perfume bottle charms, but which also are perfect for a single grain of rice.
