Adventure in soldering

Hello my dear friends,
today I would like to share my house shaped charm with you which was quite a challenge for me. Notice; no
jumpring on top:) I just couldn't do it so I soldered the charm on instead. Below you can see my first try at soldering a petite box - let's just say I'm not ready for that but I'll keep it as a reminder to not give up,lol.




And below a gothic arch - I really love how it turned out.



Have a wonderful weekend my dear friends and thank you so much for stopping by and for all your lovely comments.

Hugs and love,

The charm is a beautiful addition.
Tell me, do you cut your own glass?
The images are perfection.

Hi Marie,
These are so very beautiful!
I have bunches of little projects sandwiched under glass, just waiting for me to take out the old soldering tool. Keep sharing, you may actually inspire me to get a move on with my works.
enJOY a lovely weekend,
Kimberly

Something Special said...

Very beautiful pieces. You don't know how long I have wanted to try my hand at the soldering too.

Maybe I will after many other projects are done. I am swooning anyway over your lovely creations!

Mosaic Magpie said...

I have to know how you did the little soldered box? It is so cute! The jumpring is easier if you lay the piece you are soldering the jumpring to on another piece of glass. Let the end extend out and you can hold the jumpring right where you want to attach it! Now tell me about that box!

Oh Marie, there really is no stopping you now and you know what they say - practice makes perfect. They are just so gorgeous I really love the arched piece and all the images are gorgeous. No I am not about to attempt any of it - I think you have this under your belt so beautifully and I can just come here to admire them.
Hope you are having a wonderful weekend dear friend,
Love and hugs,
Suzy

Robin said...

Each of these charms, are for lack of other words, "charming", LOL!! What a great idea to use a charm instead of a jumpring...just brilliant. Your petite box and gothic arch are simply divine too. Have a great weekend.

Hugs,
Robin

Hi my dear Marie,-
they looks gorgeus dear, I love them all-never tryed a box myself-and am sure it is a very difficult project.
The arch looks fantastic with the lace edge, and beautiful lady.
Hope your week-end is super,

Good for you, trying something new. I've never soldered so it's an opportunity for me to see and hear someone trying it for the first time. Thanks for sharing!

Terry said...

Marie, all of your soldered charms are exquisite. So beautiful! Have a lovely weekend!

Suz said...

Marie,
What a nice job! You are really trying some difficult things for being a solderer for such a short time. Next you will be doing 3-D houses!! I loved your solution on the first one. That is really clever. Big hugs and thanks for your support.

Lynn Stevens said...

Well Marie, your just having too much fun soldering! They look wonderful, the arch is gorgeous.
A little tip on soldering on the jump ring. If you get one of those tools, I think its called helping hands. it has these clips and swivel arms, you can hold the glass and use needle nose plyers to hold the jump ring, makes it super easy to handle. The helping hands is really reasonable ,just a few dollars!
hope this helps
hugs Lynn
