Michael's should have a few choices of acrylic sealer. I believe I saw it with the silver and gold leaf stuff, which should also be near the paint section.
When you spray the sealer on, it will dull the silver and make it grey. Not to worry, that's why you do another layer of silver leaf pen.

I premiered this today at a library event. Special thanks to Sister Sola for the dress and necklace. I just finished the belt and it is sitting a little awkward in these photo but it looks better than this in person.

Congrats to both of you for getting your costumes done! Yay! You should meet up with us for the C4 ANH Leia Photo shoot (both dresses from ANH are welcome). AmmersVI - I've been wanting one of those ceremony metals. Lucky you! Maybe one day I'll make one, since I can't find the MR one for a reasonable price.

I am definately bringing the medal down with me! I would love to say it is mine but I am borrowing it from a friend. I plan to make one of my own when I get back from C4. (the MR ones are a bit on the expensive side!)
I would love to be in the Leia photo shoot!

I’m new to this thread and I have already learned so much from all of you in the short time that I’ve been here. I’d like to contribute to this thread. I don’t have any sewing tips but here are some pictures of my Lapponia “Planetary Valleys” necklace. A lot of the pictures online don’t show you the back view detail of the necklace. So I thought that this might be helpful and informative. And I am also including a close-up picture of the clasp. Thanks so much for all the information that I’ve gathered from this thread.

Thanks for those scans! Lucky you, owning this necklace (did you happen to recently win this on ebay? I soooo wanted it!) 
Anyway, I'm not sure if you were the winner of the auction, but however you got your necklace congrats! Isn't it just to die for?!

Lol. I didn't read your post completely before seeing the pictures and just saw 'pictures of my neclace' and thought you made it and was like, dang that is a great looking necklace! I was trying to figure out how you made it so accurate when I read Kay_dee's post and realized it was the actual necklace. lol. I swear I'm a blonde in disguise.
I'm still working on this gown. I had some family er, issues so I didn't finish it when I wanted to (which was monday) I plan on finishing everything today though. I still have to work on my Jedi tunics and Pirate waistcoat.

Those are great pics of the necklace. *sigh* I think if I had one I'd never take it off.
