As I browse Etsy, I keep seeing a bunch of really neat stuff and some of it looks like I might be able to make, especially some of the steampunk rings. This got me curious about soldering, and Last night, with Josh's help, I started to learn how with some pre-fluxed solder made for circuit boards (lol) and some stripped copper wire. At first I was just messing around, but the freak chunk of wire I had made started to take shape, and I made this:
Today I think I'll make a little devil :-D
If I ever actually want to make jewelry I'll have to get some silver solder, or at least something without lead, and that usually requires a torch to heat the metal hot enough to get it to melt. We have one, but that sounds scary O_O

Interestingly, I've taken on the design of an award that will be internet based, called "the webbies," and will be soldering a spider web for it. :) The awards will be given out at the various Gatherings. :)
