Frustrating...Cake Topper (Pics included!)

I've been working on my cake topper on/off since 230...first off, the glue is giving me a major headache/nauseau.

Then i finally finish only to find I'm about 8 crystals short.....URRRRR!

I'll attach pics in a bit. I really like how it turned out though.

I ordered the crystals through tamisplace.com

and the cake topper I'll have to look up who the seller was, but I got it off ebay.

I used 288 crystals (& could have used 20 more). 1/2 clear & 1/2 light sapphire

Excuse the light...the camera didn't pick up on the crystals/light too well.

So far, so good. Make sure you are doing this in a well ventilated area. Feel better!

The monogram I got from seller 'cakejewels' on ebay.

Thx., I'll have to check out artbeads.

Monogram looks a lot nicer than it looks in the pics.

I used the glue that the seller was selling...called E6000, I saw it at AC Moore & Joannes' also for a lot cheaper. I used a tweezer to place e/ bead.
