I have seen so many nice pieces of jewelry on Etsy. Something that kept catching my eye was the soldered pieces. I decided I had to get myself set up to solder. I have hardly done anything yet but I'm pretty happy. The more I get into making jewelry, the more I love it. For years I prayed that the Lord would show me something I could do for a business. This is IT!!! I love to make jewelry!
The first thing that I tried soldering that I actually felt was good enough, is this tilted heart necklace.

Not only am I soldering, I'm cutting metal with shears and a saw. So I was pretty happy with this one. Today I listed two more.
Mother's Necklace with Little Soldered Heart
Apple for the Teacher Necklace.
These were also hand cut by me. :)
I've also done some cutting out holes shaped like hearts in the discs
Remembrance/Memorial Necklace
I think of my mom every time I look at it, for obvious reasons. Ten years later and I still miss her so much.
Okay, I'm going to share one more technique I have learned.
Etching metal!
Etched Grandma Locket
This opens up and...
there's a heart inside!
Well, that's what I have been up to lately. The Lord is blessing me with orders. I'm still praying for more...daily!
