Soldering an art....


Soldering, whether in stained glass work or in metalsmithing is a fine art. I've been working in metals during the last few weeks but the creative muse in me wanted to change directions - but still using the cabachons I've made. So, it's on to stained glass style soldering. It's not as high temperature as soldering silver and I can do it with a soldering iron. But it's still an art, one you have to practice.

Yeah, you say, I saw those lumpy pieces yesterday.

Ok, so they were lumpy - what did I tell you?

It's an art.
