World Travelers...
New Poll!
Just as I get home from being gone a week, Brian is taking off for Dallas...dropped him at the airport early this morning, even tho I've been awake since about 3:30am...I can't buy a decent nights sleep anymore...all last week at B&B I got terrible sleep and in some classes I felt guilty cause I was ready to take a nap...but I'm up now, so I might as well get going...I have to hit the post office and get back to work...I made a few teeny weeny beads yesterday, I thought I might try to attach them to the Gypsy Wire earrings...we'll see...
Why or why do dogs bark at UPS and Fed Ex trucks? its garbage day today and our dog is going bananas in the backyard..i've had to bring her in, just to keep her quiet...good grief...even I don't like hearing all that barking going on...
I feel like playing with some silver wire...hmm...I do have a creme brulee torch...should I go for it?

I know how to fuse jump rings but how do you fuse links? Is it fine silver? Can you just fuse the ends without melting the whole ring?

Okay! Poor Miss NoTorch! You'll be glad to know your torch is back in Texas and I'll be dropping it off at Nomads tonight at 6pm....sound good? :-)

Wa-freakin-hoo...! Notice - I didn't pester you..no calls, no emails, no smoke signals...I waited patiently...but I heard thru the grapevine you were teaching on Sat, so I thought I'd mosey over then to see if perhaps it'd magically been delivered...the kiln brick is with it...hope it didn't get crushed like the styrofoam cubes I saw on a vintage Star Trek ep last night...I love that G4Tech Star Trek 2.0 show...its fantabulous!
and yeppers, these are fine silver rings we're fusing shut...

Donna, I use a "creme brulee" torch for all my soldering needs right now (Lee Valley Tools) :) It's been good except for really big pieces. But I always try to make sure it's full before I start. Great for jump rings. Great for wire. Even sweat-soldered several pieces (remember that dog paw necklace pic I sent you? All butane micro torch)! I've been thinking about going acetylene, but I just now finally bought a minor and need to get it hooked up (was using Fireworks torch and MAPP gas.). YAWN. I'm going to lie down for 20 min before heading back to work. Sometimes just lying down and not necessarily sleeping makes me all the better. Hope you get the REM you need....soon!
