While Blogger is having a hissy fit and not letting me upload stuff, here are some images saved in a draft - a couple of my favourite "tinfoil" Little Gems. Both have handmade felt trapped under the sheer layer that goes over the cooking foil; the machining is of course added after that.

Having "fabric" elements gives you somewhere to use pins to hold the thing together before machining -- otherwise you get pinholes in the foil.

There are now over 900 Little Gems submitted on the
website - the tombola is only a week away!
I love these ones with tinfoil in the background - really must give that a try!
