Ouch 3 degree burns hurt...

well maybe 3 degree is a bit of an exaggeration, but they do hurt esp when they are on the tips of your fingers... yep you guessed I have had my soldering iron out and been playing with my birthday pressies... a drill and a vice!

For some reason I have little incentive to make cards these days, maybe cos there are so many other things to play with. But I really wanted to make a little something for a couple of friends, one of whom is having an OP - prob as we speak - and although she is wonderfully honest with me and doesn't care for much of my old tat - she has got a little bit of it now! I'm safe cos she can't throw it back cos she is armless ATM lol!! But she has got my first attempt at soldering so she better like it a little bit!!

And one for "Mrs Stubborn 'I'm not ill, I don't need a Doctor'.... "

A little sommat to cheer her up cos she is poorly but I am done with nagging

(you know who you are!!) don't know why but the image reminded me of her.....

For anyone who is interested they are altered dominoes, backed with aluminum tape and then copper taped around the edges where the solder goes. The front of the domino is alcohol inked, stamped onto tissue and then Deep embossing crystals (very similar to UTEE except they give a much more glassy appearence, more expensive though so I save them for this kind of project!) so the solder serves no purpose as such, just looks nice.
