Sweeet do you use a natural resin? Also any places online you recommend buying metal shavings and small crystal pieces?

Rake, my apologies, I scrolled up and realized a post I made hadn't been made. My internet has been randomly timing out for a few weeks now so I think it was eaten on my end and not the web server. Anyway!

For metal shavings, lots of people go to scrap yards or recycling centers where you can get them for practically nothing, but you do want to make sure they are clean (not covered in grease). You can buy small parcels of of various metals (copper, brass, aluminum) on ebay as well, 4oz and up. I get brass by going to the Home Depot a couple miles away and cleaning out the reservoir in their key-cutting machine.

For chips, I often buy from this amazon seller:

Sometimes it's also very cost effective to find strings of drilled beads of the stones that you want.

Sorry again for the delay, pretty sure this is the third time I've typed this post!
