These bursts of creative energy when a new toy or technique presents itself is so fun to watch! Larkin has been wanting to play with rings for quite a while but a lack of solder made it difficult to make really nice designs. This is still a work in progress. The first picture shows the "front" of the ring... every single spot the twist touches the framing wire has a tiny solder spot. The second picture shows the join-- it's solid, but obviously will improve with repetition! There is more to learn about getting the surface of the metal back to smooth and shiny after heat treatment, but this is a pretty nice start within days of beginning to play with jewelry soldering!
