1930's Goldwork

This kit was purchased from Helen L. Stevens and is entitled "Goldwork - the '30 Revisited".  I love art deco gold work and this does not disappoint.  My only issue is I tried heat to remove the blue marking lines and it did not work and I am afraid to try water.

Spangles added.  They are centered on the dots, but they look off to me.
