Over the process of wire wrapping the crystals, I got sick from sinusitis, and also was trying to juggle some research at the same time. Much of this process didn't get video documented, but I will still try to video edit the footage I got.
See that broken handle on the vintage pewter pot? The main reason no one wanted it, and cast it off as "a piece of junk" was the sole reason why I wanted it. (It also has a big dent in it. But, to me, it shall be a figurative "Persian Flaw".) Well, that broken handle is what will make this a major piece of whimsical art!

In my original design concept I only wanted a small crystal to be wire wrapped to the handle, and then reinforced. But, I ended up having 3 crystals thanks to Jet International due to a mistake which changed to generosity & kindness.
So, It evolved into 3 crystals... but, when I as at Michael's Craft Store I saw some drilled crystal point beads, and that also became part of the mix.

After I was done with the wire wrapping, I had to do some spray paint retouch-ups, and I had to cover the crystals with plastic wrap in layers. Then, after that I had to spray it with layers of shellac.
I couldn't do it while it was raining, nor while it was ultra humid, because it would mess up the process. And, I was also sick, so I had to be careful as to not harm myself.
Once the paint and the shellac were all set, I could move onto the LED lights, but I had to wait until the following day to be completely sure the layers of paint and shellac were totally set.
I also put the knob back on.
Oh, and by the way: It's rather heavy from all the wire.
