"Egg"cellent
Spring greetings,
Mail order customers with orders placed
between
March 28th and
March 30th will have an "Egg"cellent egg pulled for them and that will
be the discount for appropriate items from that order. The discount
will be applied when we ship the order so it will not show up in your
shopping cart. If you've ever been in the store you'll know that only a
fraction of our inventory is listed on our website. We are not able to
do stock checks during the sale so if you're shopping via phone or the
web and
don't see something you're looking for, just let us know what it is and
if we have it, we'll include it in your order.
 I've started work on turning my little JBW
Designs
projects (stitched with the Society
of
Soie Surfine threads) into their final soldered
forms. The photo at right shows what they look like when I've cut the
glass (I do buy the beveled glass but cut the backing glass) and foiled
them,
which is when I've applied the copper foil to the glass edges. The foil
has a sticky back so it makes it easy to apply to the glass, although I
do
have to line it up by eye to keep the edges reasonably straight. The
foil has straight edges so I use a wave cutter for paper/fabric to
create a more
interesting edge. Once this step is done on all of them I apply flux to
the copper then use the soldering iron to apply the solder. Solder only
comes in a
silver color and since I use lead free solder most of the products used
to create a patina don't really work to change the color. So I just
leave them
the silver color they turn out. I'm hoping to get the rest of the
little pieces foiled and soldered over the weekend. I'll include some
photos
in the next newsletter and on the Society
blog when I get them done. The glass the pear is encased in is 2" x
3", so a nice little ornament size.Happy Stitching, Cathe Cathe's Personal Blog ...and Debi, Leila, Jennifer, Ali, Mary, Mary Frances, Caroline, Susan and Margaret |
