I Believe In Kissing - Kissing A Lot

Hello!  My name is Kathy and I'm addicted to soldering. 
I'm practicing for the 12 step program
 I'll need to be attending soon.
Here's what I've been making.
I need to figure out how to add the jump ring
to these stones with a little more finesse.
It's real junky looking.
Back of...
These!

I've been making teeny, tiny 1 inch collages.
I add some favorite quotes...
This quote is one of my favorites!
I think this says it all.
Kiss a lot, today!
Just don't kiss any frogs.

Kathy,
Those are just charming. My name is Suz and I am trying to learn to solder better so I won't be embarrassed at a class with Sally Jean, the Solder Queen! i am also making a copper bracelet and I have heard there is a copper finish for solder...and it looks like you have found it. Beautiful! I am working on this necklace for a swap and it is a Southwest repurposed necklace. Since I can't use silver and gold (the rules) I am using copper. I will go look for this finish, since I am going to an appropriate store today...but if I don't find it, I may write and ask you for your help. Beautiful work, Kathy. I want to be in your group. Alas, I am addicted to other things...soldering continues to scare me!

Hi Kathy!

I love what you're doing....I say keep it up! I was also hoping that I could buy or trade you for that kissing pendant?! You see, my little brother just celebrated his 1st wedding anniversary on Oct. 10th....so, needless to say, there is still A LOT of kissing going on with them (they're not shy) plus before they were married, he got a tattoo of a keyhole over his heart and she a key on her wrist....this just seems too perfect to pass up asking :)

I paint and bead and make cards, etc....but I have not attempted this art yet....maybe there is something of mine you like? Thanks for the consideration! And keep on making wonderful little inspiring pieces!

Smiles,
Cameron

These are wonderful. I have never soldered but can understand how addicting it can get. Happy creating...

I adore these. I have been told soldering is not difficult, but making it look flawless takes talent. I will get to trying my hand some day. You look like you have talent.
