The mad Christmas rush is over! A little time to relax and play with new toys that Santa brought me. Among the toys I received the book "Pretty Little Things" and my very own soldering iron. After getting a few lessons in "How to solder without setting ones self on fire" and a bit of practice I seem to have the basics under control. Haven't even opened the book yet. I plan to dissect it cover to cover while lying in bed tonight and hope to come up with some ideas of things I would like to make. I am mostly interested in making "parts" and charms to incorporate in my figures, but thought I'd like to make a charm bracelet or two for myself and for a few special people. This is something I have wanted to experiment with for years now. Seems ridiculous that it has taken me this long to get around to it.

i also received sally jean's book for christmas. i made a collage last night using some of her techniques, threw in a bit of my own style, and it sold on etsy within 10 minutes of me listing it! the book has already paid for itsef!
enjoy yours and good luck with the soldering. i don't know if i'll be that brave.
Ingrid, we're doing a charm bracelet trade on Paper Traders. Why don't you join us? I'd love to see what you come up with.
