[Ansteorra] Adhesive!

[Chelsea Durham]

I want to try a different way of keeping my beaded flowers together to withstand being worn as a pin. I'm fairly certain that wasn't something that was done in period with the flowers, however I'd like for them to stay looking nice and the wearer not have to keep readjusting it, or worse it falling apart. I'm not complaining about fixing them. I'm complaining that my work was so shoddy in the first place that it broke.

Son, I never knew there was part of me missing until you were born.

Because it lasted for over 2000 years, but I'm thinking a resin might be overkill, and then I don't know if it's necessarily clear. I just know that it stuck King Tut in his sarcophagus. Anyway, if you have recipes or anything, I'd looove to know! Thanks!
