Advice re: modifying a Joan Rivers Pin

‎07-16-2011 01:32 AM

Hi, I recently ordered and received one of Joan's new faux turquoise salamander pins:http://www.qvc.com/qic/qvcapp.aspx/view.2/app.detail/params.item.J260518.desc.Joan-Rivers-Faux-Turqu...

I like 98% of the pin. What I don't like about the pin is the little fella's eyes. I think they are supposed to be faux diamond. My salamander's right eye is clear, the left eye is cloudy like there's a cataract. I'm not kidding.

That said, even if both eyes were clear, something about clear eyes on this pin looks off to me. I think the pin would look better if the salamander had hematite, onyx or green eyes. I started thinking about trying to find stones (simple marquise) and replacing them. I figured I could pop the eyes out and glue replacements in.

Then it hit me ~ why not try to cover the existing eyes with a really good nail polish. I'm not looking for sparkle, I actually think enamel would look better. Maybe not a frosty nail polish, but one with some shimmer.

What do you think? Does it sound doable or a disaster in the making?

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.
