Well let me take you quickly through the process that I do to finish of my pieces of jewellery.

Firstly, an item comes back from the casting process and it has some pieces of metal hanging off it and the finish is all crinkly or it looks like it has been "sandblasted. Here are the steps I take:

1. I use a heavy file and remove all the dags or sharp bits of metal left over from casting.

2. I next use a light metal file and files the item as smooth as I can. I also use round files and square files and triangular files to get into thosehard to get places.

3. Next I use various grades of sandpaper starting with a medium grit and sanding all over the items. Then I use a finer grade to sand all over again.

4. Now place the items in a tumbler of metal shot. It is a mixture of small ball bearings and pointy pieces of stainless steel. It is tumbled in this with a solution of water and polish. I leave it tumbling for several hours.

5. I now use string with polish on it to get into holes and crevices where my other tools cannot reach. I run the string through the holes and polish the inside of them. This takes a lot of time and I am not fond of doing it.

6. I now use a mechanical polisher only with a grease called Tripoli which actually comes from Tripoli and I use this to polish theitem.

7. Now I put this into an ultrasonic machine with a solution of hot water and detergent to clean the Tripoli polish from the item.

8. Now I use another polish on the machine called Rouge. It is a red polish and now this will give my item to high gleam.

9. Back into the ultrasonic for about twenty minutes and the rouge is removed. I then dry the item carefully with a soft Cloth.

10. Finally I get to polish impregnated Cloth and the hand polish the item for a magnificent sparkling finish.

That's all there is to it! I now slip the item into a jewellery box without touching it with my fingers. Sometimes I'll wear a glove for this as I do not want my finger marks on the item.

Batman costumes have long been a popular kids Halloween costume, in fact they are also a popular adult Halloween costume. Whether it's from Brave and Bold, or The Dark Knight with it's Joker costume, or even one of the older movies ...Batman Begins. Returns, Forever, Cat Woman (Catwoman), Return To The Bat Cave, Batman & Robin, or you can't go wrong with this Halloween costume theme.

Don't forget the Bat-Villains

Remember the villains of the Bat flicks? Did you know that some these villains actually made the list of the top 100 movie villains? They were all pretty great as evil villain go.Two-Face

Don't forget Tommy LeeJones as Two-Face in Batman Forever. This bad guy was an awesome bat-villain.
there was the maniacal Scarecrow in Batman Begins Cillain played by Murphy. Very scary ... easy costume idea! Well you are in luck if this is your costume choice. There is both a mask and a costume for this bad guy.

Ra's al Ghul

Liam Neeson played Ra's al Ghul (Arabic for "Head of the Demon") and Ra's al Ghul is one of the Batman's greatest enemies. Liam Neeson has the role of Henri Ducard, who is the true Ra's al Ghul.
This one will require you buy some good Halloween costume make up to design your own burn marks.

The Penguin

One of the oldest and most popular characters who tried to kill our favorite bat hero, the Penguin and DannyDeVito waddling, talking and sounding just like a penguin. This costume will require a penguin suit and some waddling practice if you decide to wear it. The Penguin is one of the best remembered of the Villains. Danny was certainly more than a little scary in this role.

Catwomen

Michelle made such a beautiful Phieffer catwomen, trying to purr her way into the batcave and also making quite the figures in that slinky catwomen suit. I think Michelle squeezed into a size 2 or 4 costume, wonder if that's why she looked so good in it? There are catwomen costumes available, and also another female Bat-foe, Poisin Ivy costumes too.

The Riddler

Jim Carrey as the Riddler was a starring part. Riddler, with his cool gadgetsand costumes, does the old riddler thing ... leaves his bat foe riddle clues throughout the movie.

Two-Face in the Dark Knight

The other Two-Face from the Dark Knight will take some doing as a costume. With the extensive burn on his face, it will take finding a good mask. Still scary and yet still a sympathic character.

The Joker

Now for the final two ... both The Joker, both wonderful and creative characters. Jack Nicholson as the original funny bad guy who made the batman the superhero he is today. And then we Have Heath Ledger in the role of his life. Heath gave a new dimension of evil to the already-hated beloved Joker character.
