I use a standard soldering block for most flat joins but have a charcoal block for soldering pieces when I want to avoid any fire scale (although that makes me smell like a bonfire) and a magnesia...

susieq, Wonderful witches which deserved to win. Well done.
I love the cat and broomstick by Wallace, (reminds me of tabby from the worst witch) and Sally, your bats are really cute!
I too have a last minute entry. I've been trying to make a spiders web pendant similar to a Victorian one I saw in an antique store. The web was relatively simple, the spider and fly ok... Soldering...
Never worry about "horrible hands" if your hands are creating beautiful things. You have lovely strong slim fingers and the ring complements your hand beautifully! It's quite lovely.
Not specifically an app but you could create a secret Pinterest page and upload and store your images there then you can tag them as you like and invite people to view them as you wish.
Thanks pearlescence.

I hope you...
I agree completely that contacting HMRC is always best for clarification. Please be advised that they are cutting their workforce and closing the majority of their local tax offices and moving a...
Had to go and look at the jewellery on the Liberty website after reading this...The zoom function on images does the pieces no favours! Now I feel I must photograph every piece I make and blow it up...

Since forming the company at the beginning of 2015 the details and rules about what can and cannot be done have changed. I didn't trade at all for the first year but did what is considered by HMRC to...

Not sure why you were smashing one of the padlocks but it did get my attention which lead me to the motorcycle!!!
Wow. Just Wow.

I bet your brother in laws girlfriend was thrilled. Cute and quirky!
