my girlfriend wants to make some hemp necklaces for some friends using small cultivated cubes as the center bead. and as i explained to her when exposed to the air they suck in the humidity and will eventually rot... is there any ideas anyone has for a way to permantly preserve them, like a thin layer of something clear such as a finish of some sort to coat them while bone dry, so they can't get the moisture and rot.
i know maybe it's a weird question, i actually like the idea, but she's been obsessing for me to find an answer for a few days now...
if this isn't an appropriate place, mods feel free to move it as neccasary, i didn't feel it'd fit well in any forum...
we've got plenty of specimens to test it anybodies ideas on, but if anyone has a definitive answer i'd be really grateful. 
thx

i don't want it to be edible...
i want it rock hard so it can be tossed around like necklaces commonly are. We're using specimens between 1/2 inch long and 1 inch long that are as cracker dry as cracker dry gets..
what's that avatar from?

clear acrylic, you can get two part acrylic mix put the shroom in a mold and pour the mix over it .. it hardens overnight or less.. then you would need to polish and buff the outside to its clear again

I don't know if I'd want to wear a necklace like that... something cops wouldn't be to happy about.

Do a VERY thorough psilocybin extraction 
No, it really could get you arrested. Do a look-alike shroom instead! They're very good looking.

yep. unless you really want a controlled substance on a necklace where the public could see it. i highly doubt you would get caught though, no cop is going to hassle you over it.

I think it's about as wise as hanging a big ol bag of bud around your neck, but if you insist I think the pub is the better place for the discussion. I'll move the thread there. Pub mods can dump it if they choose. After all, I dumped it on them because it's off topic here.  RR

i think it would wiser to have a small mushroom rather than a big bag or bud. either way, it could possibly get him/her into trouble.

well i'm not too worried about the legal aspect, as I'm sure my friends wouldn't be. we don't have too many run ins with the cops. i mean chances are they'll already have a bag of mushrooms or some other psychedelics in their pockets if they were getting busted.
anyway it's for novelty and decorative (as in hanging on the wall decoration) purposes...
