Blood, Sweat and Absolute Tears!

How I didn't pull my hair out last night, I do not know!!! That will teach me for attempting to file out scratches when really, really tired.
But onwards, and upwards. It's another glorious day, and I am feeling a lot more positive about my collection than I was last night. Also, I have received good news about the exhibition, I do not need to hand in my work until the weekend so that gives me plenty more time to make everything PERFECT!
So, to reach perfection, I have decided to take the piece to the left apart and clean everything until I can see my own face in the metal. Also, the rivets are slightly loose so it will help them feel more secure.
It's all part of the learning process I guess!!!
