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!
