Soldering 101

I taught a wonderful group of women at Ornamentea today - soldered glass charms, the Memento Pendant class. There 7 in the class - all very different with great style and personality. I didn't give Kathy, the chemist too hard of a time - my memories of chemistry class are not terribly pleasant. Shiloh drove up from SC for a weekend of classes - she gets to do resin charms tomorrow - what fun! (we almost drove her crazy trying to figure out a hotel for her!) We decided to pull out the patinas after finishing soldering and some of the charms ended up with dark, antique looking finishes. I really need to use patina more, it's a great look.



I feel so fortunate to be able to teach at Ornamentea and Panopolie and have the added pleasure of meeting amazing people while doing one of my absolute most favorite things!
