I gave the soldering another go...this time over a "Memories" metal frame....and I still haven't got all things aligned!...the filigree top is a bit lopsided...more practice needed me thinks...vbg.
The birdy side is the front...silly Blog method still confuses me...ho-hum!
I used a background paper, a bird print-out,a tiny feather and a shred of music sheet on the front.The same paper was used for the back with a butterfly wing print-out and a scrap of sequin waste.
This time I used the wavey edged copper foil and am pleased with the look of it, altho' I still have a long way to go with my soldering technique.
I also discovered that if I soak the gold metal filigree embellishment in the flux to darken it BEFORE soldering it to the pendant,
it will NOT attach...there is always something to learn,eh?
