Yesterday i worked a little more on charms...practiced soldering a little more....and i found that if that tape is not on the soldered item correctly...FORGET IT! the tape can bulge out,,,be very wrinkled or rip....and the solder goes on as smooth or bumpy as the tape is applied! So take time to burnish the metal tape onto the item correctly...this will save a lot of time (and heart break!!!)
So....i wanted to get a little different look attached to my charms...like smaller charms attached to bigger ones...so i had some sqaure GLASS BEADS...in leapard print....i taped them nice and smooth and soldered...then i soldered the jump ring to a corner instead of in the middle and it looked more like a diamond than a square shape.....i love thisnew tiny hanging charm...now i will search for pretty flat glass beads to solder.....thet have a lot out there now.....check out the picture ........
Today is "back to dolls" day!!!

Your playing with fire now? Somewhere down the line, I will be seeing a doll that is the product of all these creative side adventures. Wow, your charms are wonderful.
Interesting. Did you know that April 28th is International Handmade Art Charms Day???
Very cool timing, even though you posted this a couple of years back on April 28th!
What got you started on charm making?
:o)
