More soldering

When you are going to get out the soldering iron there is not much point in just doing one charm. So I had to justify it and make a whole bunch more. I made some new collages and scanned in my DJ Pettit class painting as well as a canvas I did in a swap.
I'm getting better at cutting glass. The 3 x 2 inch slide I bought last year cut nicely into a twinchie and two inchies. And I worked out a little missing step from my previous efforts. Probably obvious to many others but it helps to flux the jump ring! Doh. It made that step so much easier.
Now I just have to decide what to do with them.
Suggestions?

How about suggesting a swap of soldered charms/collages? Or add more to your giveaways. : )

These are beautiful... I love them.
What to do with them? sell them, sure they would sell.

or maybe get a metal wall hanging, lots on ebay and maybe add them to it for a piece of wall art....

I love your little collages! This is one of my favorite things to do, also, but I still don't know how to cut glass, nor do I have the equipment. A swap sounds like a blast! Are you on facebook?
