I had 3 parcels arrive one after the other this morning. Two full of glass rods and the other from Cooksons. All my soldering stuff and some silver wire.
My 15 yr old son was fascinated and ran off...
I only just ordered! and I've missed out! :(|:(|:(|
I would like to make some soldered copper rings. The solder my hubbie uses for plumbing is silvery in colour so that's no good. Silver solder wont do either as I don't want it to show. Is there...
OH! I'm a senior member now! when did that happen?
Am I getting old? NOOOOOO :'(:confused::'(
I want to make some Christmas related things to enter in the Christmas comp and I know what I want to do to go with my snow ball beads. I just hope I CAN do it! lol
I have just placed a big (for me) order with Cooksons, including a bench peg and anvil and soldering torch starter kit. I am so gona give this thing a go!
I will let you all know how I get on once I...
I have just bought an impress bead liner and have used it once so far with copper tubing. The copper tubing split probably because I didn't go gentle enough. I need to get a sharper tube cutter too...

I go away for a week and come back to 7, yes, count them, 7 pages of new posts and then find that you have all totally lost the plot! Where am I gona go now for sensible advice on how to be a green...
I love the wire work too. It looks so smooth and soft and organic. If your tutor is that unenthusiastic I would give up on her and find some one else! But I guess tutors aren't that easy to come by....
He he he. I am sitting here giggling to myself. I feel the same here looking at all the wonderful silver work you all do.
I want to do it too!
Many congratulations to both of you. I hope you had fun celebrating last night.
You deserve it!
Congratulations to you both.
What a sweet way to propose!
And a beautiful ring, very dainty.
Have fun, or if I'm too late for that, did you have fun?
I want to see you entries too, you could post em up here anyway, we wouldn't tell any one we saw em would we? :-"
I'm here too, but reading not posting.
And looking at the time I shouldn't be here, I should be up and about and doing things. I have a kiln full of beads that were annealed last night to open and...

I guess you kinda motivated!
I got up the courage to open my packet of art clay today. And I wish I hadn't.
