New Soldering Techniques!



Last night I learned some soldering techniques. This is something I've been looking forward to for a long time. These two joints were fun and easy and I can't wait to put in some more studio time. I was having trouble learning a third joint technique to solder a piece of wire to this copper and I'll have to put in some more time to get it right.

I'm falling in love with using a torch. Metalworking feels so good to me and rewarding. I'm glad I've finally found the right medium to express myself.

This is a poor image because I just threw my work on a scanner. I'll take another photo soon which will show the joints much more clearly.

A Butterfly Pendant!









This is my first piece of finished jewelry. It's a butterfly pendant cut from copper and riveted to a brass plate. I just finished it last night. =)
