I entered a microscope slide pendant swap on paper arts. Only problem was, I didn't know how to solder. I could have used the ranger slide frames but I really wnated to solder.
You tube is a wonderful thing. I searched and watched some basic videoas and then had a demo from a friend's husband and son. It's probably the most expensive slide pendant if you count the cost of the soldering iron and the table clamp and the flux etc. I will just have to make some more to justify the cost. Still, I have decided I love soldering. Looking forward to doing more.
Hope you like it Glenda.

Your pendant is beautiful!
Well done for the soldering, you did a great job. Warning: it can be addictive!LOL
Thank you for your kind words you posted on my blog. My heart is still aching losing our girl Olivia, but, it was time for her to leave this earth & enjoy 'doggy heaven', where I'm sure she has reunited with her old pal Oscar.

Martina, you have done a wonderful job with the soldering! Smartymarty...lol
I've come back again to say that I keep seeing your pendant in my google reader and it is one of the loveliest that I have seen. Looks great with the lace in the background.
This is so beautiful - I am sure the recipiant is going to love it
I sure do. You did a great job on the soldering too. I love both sides of it.
I am very impressed with your first soldering piece. Well done. It is very addictive!
Such a gorgeous pendant - and it is funny as I was showing some friends last night how to use microscope sildes and copper tape (confronting soldering is one of those things I keep deferring ...although after seeing this I now think maybe I should just do it!!)
Marty,
I am so proud of you for doing such a wonderful job soldering. It is really addictive and this was also my first time with the swap on paperarts to do the soldering. Girl yours rocks and I am sure you will do more now.
Hugs
This looks wonderful, you've certainly mastered soldering
this is truly a beautiful piece...
Love your pendant Martina... its absolutely gorgeous!
What a beautiful intricate piece of art. I'm in the process of getting back into soldering with glass and wanted to work with microscope slides but I can't seem to find a good tutorial on YouTube, Can I ask you what keywords you used in your search?
aha!
yes I know what you mean..
after investing in a heap pf slides that are not cheap.. then the solder stuff... making a dogs beakfast of the first ten...
