loo said:The way Leighton showed me to do it was to hold the file at an angle as though it is facing left to right (mmmm how do I describe it think its a 45 degree angle??? lol)
Then file then very end side of the free edge do it gently and slow and then keep checking the shape your be fine. It took me a while to get used to doing without taking too much off the side and making them a funny shape from looking at a side view but practice makes perfect. Even now I have to be carefull when filing this shape so I dont take it in too much. They still look nice as they are though Suzie xx
Thanks Loo! well I did my other hand yesterday & took the silver off....... I then put the silver line back on using spangles silver glitter and have reshaped them oval. I had a client this morning for a full set and when she saw mine, she loved them and wanted hers the same. It was much easier doing them on someone else and she was happy to pay a bit more - £15 instead of £12. Still took me 3 hours, but I told her in advance that's how long it would take and she was fine about it. Got2 more sets of glitter ones to do before xmas - I hope they don't want pink as I want to try out some other colours too!!
