Wabi Sabi Solder

Wabi Sabi...
finding the beauty in imperfection.
My first attempt at soldering can most certainly be described as imperfect.
I have been both intrigued and intimidated by the art of soldering
for quite some time now
but finally took the plunge in a stained glass suncatcher class
at a local studio.

The suncatcher is about 8 inches square.
For the outer border I chose pieces of milky white
stained glass
to complement the image I selected for the center.
I'm still deciding what to use as a hanger
and where exactly I'll be hanging it.
My first soldered piece is
wabi sabi
to me.
 
This past week I also mailed a package of fun
to the winner of my blogiversary giveaway.
Loads of ephemera, buttons, jewelry pieces, vintage postcards,
cabinet cards, flowers, trims, art bits
and a frozen charlotte wrapped in pom pom trim.
I hope this brings Tabitha hours of enjoyment!

Sushi (?) Antoinette

This is the image Kris gave us to create
a diary-like chipboard page
for a book collaborative in the
Marie Antoinette Mail Art Group
I certainly couldn't pass on such a
whimsical project! 
 
After envisioning Sushi in many different roles and outfits..

I opted for a career as a can-can dancer
in a Gay Paris revue.
(Look closely, that's Sushi on the left.)
 
When she's not performing,
Sushi loves to play..

The back of my page is Sushi
enjoying a day
at the fair!
I can't wait to see what my fellow collaborators have done
with Sushi
&
I'll be sure to share the finished diary with you.
Wishing each of you a wonderful week!
