I need another craft like I need a hole in my head...

But here I am starting on another adventure in craft land.

Soldering.

I fell in love with all the boutique necklaces and bracelets I was seeing in talented designers listings. I would have been happy purchasing just one or 2 but then I saw the ornaments...and well, I justified starting another craft by telling myself that I could make them for Christmas presents for the Grandma & Grandpa's in our world.

My first and 2nd attempts have left a little to be desired. It's a little tough to get used to using something other than my hands to mold a piece of art...like sewing and crocheting. But I am getting better.

A couple of burns later (really minor, don't worry) I have come up with this treasure for my Niece's birthday present. A "T" for her name and her baby picture on the other side. I figured that when she outgrows it she will have an heirloom to treasure for a long time to come.
