At our local stamp club this week, the project selected by one of the members was soldering. She provided one-inch glass pieces, tape and equipment and we were to bring photos or items to encase.
Well, let me say that I failed terribly. I have had a soldering iron on my wish list for some time but can honestly say it has been removed. What started out as a perfect square turned into a glob wrapped around the glass.
However, the images I used are still pretty -- Asian Inchies from Inka Stamps.
Henceforth, I'll leave the soldering to the experts and focus on other techniques.

well I'm impressed! looks okay to me, and I've never even tried it, the very idea scares me. I love it
One never fails when one tries, Carolyn....like everything it takes time. I am scared to even try so to me it is wonderful. Wish I could do as well.
Awww Carolyn... =) I do love that image! But don't be so hard on yourself--it takes lots of practice to do this well. I actually took a sculpture class in college and it took me the better part of a semester to learn how to lay a bead...
Well, at least you tried! I've had the gun for years but never opened it up. Had it for a full year before I realized my hubby had one too. He never uses it either. Hmmm, perhaps some purging is in order.
