Soldering Pieces ~

Ah ~ just finished dinner with the family, it was very yummy. 

Chicken, mac & cheese, and caesar salad, with satisfaction all the way around. 

Now that you know where, I'm coming from I had a very few minuets 

to blog. 

Okay, so last night I finished some soldering pieces that I thought I would never

get done ~ However, some are completed and I still have some to go. 

I wanted to share what I accomplished with you and to let you know, that 

this project took way longer then I thought. The soldering process is quite 

involved, well for me anyways ~ 

Here's what I did ~ first collaborated on the images, shape, and composition, of the

art piece. Then had to copper tape all pieces. Then comes the fun part, actually 

getting to solder the pieces create.

Tell me what you think ~ I have several more pieces to go, then need to seal

with "clear gloss Polyurethane" and then choose the type of chain to add 

to the pieces and perhaps a bit more embellishments for fun. 

Okay ~ Take a Look ~ and Please be kind ~ Remember I'm 

a Doll Maker ~ Much Love to you always ~ 

Well, onward to finish these little squares, and

start on some Halloween dolls and other projects ~ 

Thank you for encouragement and support always ~

Hi Peeps  ~ Been busy with lots of soldering projects....

I'm kinda out of my league. 

However, the prep time takes the longest, 

as my mentor "Robin Dudley-Howe" has said in the past.

But you put time in the prep work, the finished project will

be pleasing to the artist ~ 

I agree ~ OLAY with that ~ 

On to what I'm posting right now.....I squeezed in a doll

this week, between the soldering tape madness ... here she is...

Please welcome "Miss. 4th of July 2010"

Enjoy ~ 

Thanks for stopping by ~ Much Love Daily to you all ~

"Gods word is alive and working and is sharper than a double-edged sword. 

It cuts all the way into us, where the soul and the sprit are joined, 

to the center of our joints and bones. 

And it judges the thoughts and feelings in our hearts"

Fallbrook, CA ~ Chateau De Fleurs

Today a friend and I took a little trip down south 

to a town called Fallbrook, CA. ~ to visit some gals who were 

having a "Barn Sale" at their other friends house. 

The ladies who created this event are seasoned vendors at 

selling antiques & vintage furnishings for home & garden, 

and organic product and so much more.....

Rita Reade and Christie Repasy along with several 

hand selected vendors, displayed lovely works of art,

in quite the charming way ~ come in a check it out.
