so I have been soldering pendants-charms like a crazy person, a happy crazy person!
I love the process, it fills so many of my artistic needs... using vintage goods, collage, letting the creative muse go wild, glue, glitter, old photos, and that new love of melting metal! it's a bit scary and fun at the same time... kinda like life!

I'm even soldering marbles people! Nothing is safe!
but I just love how they dangle from this button pendant!
They will all come lovingly packaged in the gift pouches that I made for them using upholstery webbing,
all tied up with seam binding.
and free shipping to boot!
I'm listing these in The Old White House as fast as I can, and I have so many more to share with you...
til next time...
love,
Theresa xoxo

Theresa I just love those wonderful pendants! For the longest time I have wanted to learn to solder and see what I could come up with and you are just tempting me to go out tomorrow and get what I need and go for it, :)
ReplyDeleteIf I can achieve something half as wistful and lovely I will be happy!
Have a great day!

You have such a fun imagination, Theresa! These are all wonderful...particularly fond of the royal mother and that adorable photo you used! Your statement of soldering being like life {scary and fun} made me giggle. How true. how true. Always enjoy your posts! Xo, Sue
ReplyDeleteThese are GORGEOUS! Will have to investigate soldering -- my dad used to do it to fix things but I've never tried it for creating crafts. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet! I went out and bought myself a soldering kit last year and never have opened it...You are inspiring me to figure it out, for sure!

Wow Theresa pretty cool pendants. I am loving the ones with the feet and legs you've made. And very clever there witht he webbing! Perfect size!! I also like that one with the guy and lady. I loved watching the video of your son. He is gorgeous!! Bet he has alot of chicks after him! LOL You brought him up to be a special young man. You do have bragging rights Theresa! Worked in the garden today loved the cooler weather and the breeze> Have a good night. XO Love, Fran.
