I am definitely NOT an expert at soldering! There is a learning curve with this whole thing! I have been having trouble with the jump rings and such. I had my son hold the jump ring so I could touch the area around it with the soldering gun. All he kept saying to me was, "Please, don't burn me, please don't burn me!" Of course I was EXTRA careful! I can't quite get it as smooth as I'd like.....but I guess with practice I will get better.....I hope! I have one of those metal trees in my living room that you hang small photo frames on....so this is where this one is going! Well, my washing machine is finally fixed! And only at the small price of $193.00! (Insert sarcasm there!) Guess this means I need to do laundry!
It turned out great Michelle! Very pretty...
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous! I love the colors and the dangling beads. Too funny about your son! Soldering is on my "someday" to do list. I need someone in my area who has all the supplies for it so I can practice and see if it's something I would actually do, you know?
ReplyDeleteThis is really pretty.
ReplyDeleteWOW!! Love it...FABulous job!
ReplyDeleteLove your project, that is funny that your son thought you were going to burn him!!
ReplyDeleteOh yikes about your washer! I just love your soldering and photo! So special! I've been wanting to give this a try! SUper cooL!
ReplyDeleteOh, this is so beautiful! It really turned out awesome!!! I hope you have a beautiful day! Hugs, Ash~
ReplyDeleteWow Mihelle your soldering is beautiful...I love it:)x
ReplyDeleteThat frame is great! You did a wonderful job. Hope you can make a dent in your piles of laundry.
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty! I can't imagine going to the "soldering" level yet-- I'm already into so much stuff. Did you know that they make glass slides & metallic tapes for projects kinda like this? That way you wouldn't have to worry about injuries ;)
ReplyDeleteI think it turned out great Michele - it's gorgeous! *STAMPIN HUGS* Alex
ReplyDeleteWOW soldering, cool but not me! This is way awesome though!!
ReplyDeleteGreat job, Michele! BTW, you might consider one of these babies: http://www.delphiglass.com/index.cfm?page=itemView&itemsysid=196847
ReplyDeleteHTH!
Okay, that link isn't working, but if you go to www.delphiglass.com and look up tools, there is something called extra hands (or extra eyes extra hands). It has clamps that rotate 360 degrees and can hold hot things for you while you work. Mine has a magnifying glass as well. HTH!
ReplyDeleteThis is just beautiful. My mom has one of those trees too! This is so much nicer than the store bought ones. Great job.
ReplyDeleteWell, for not claiming to be an expert, it looks pretty darn perfect to me! Gorgeous in fact!
