I took over from Dirty Little Flirt on this conversion/upgrade!
The DIY kits are a great option if you are super crafty with wire (like from jewelery arts) or other small detailed work, but also have a great amount of patience for laying out large patterns. This set upgrade had a lot going on which can be overwhelming too… fresh top layer plumes and drabs, but smaller plumes from a previous set. It was all a little much when the stave kit arrived, but no worries! I’m always willing to take it all back and complete the build.
So if you have a kit tucked away in a closet, let me know. No shame in trying!
