Hello lovely ones and fairy folk. Today is day 9 of #marchmeetthemaker by the fantastic @joannehawker and today's prompt is Trial and Error. A perfect prompt for me to tell you about my attempts at soldering recently. I have been through practically every craft it is possible to do in one’s own kitchen. And a few that are probably not really advisable in a kitchen; glass beads for instance. Holding the blowtorch wrapped in a towel (it got real hot) between your knees while forming glass beads could have turned out dangerous. As it happens both me and the house got out unscathed. I have some sweet little beads as testament to a short lived ‘hobby on a whim’, and all the equipment that is required, should that whim ever return. About the same time, but with a smaller blow torch, just your regular kitchen, melt the sugar on a crème brulee, type of torch, I played with silver jewellery making and had lot of fun soldering rings and pendants etc. whilst building up another selection of tools and equipment. This is leading somewhere, I promise, but to read more you will need to go to my latest blog post... link in bio ...
