I love sprouts! It's so fun to watch them grow, they are delicious and nutritious, yum ❤️

Final steps are polishing off any rough soldering remains that could snag on the skin or clothing and attaching the chain. Sometimes I add a black patina. And that's it! It's quite a lengthy process. I'm currently working on a new display setup, using nice books.

Step no.4! Making shapes out of a thicker wire and soldering them on to make the stones into pendants. This is the most creative part of the process, though it is not my favourite part, as that is hunting for nice minerals to turn into jewelry. 🤭 I have waaay to many stones at home... In this step you have to be really careful not to overheat everything with the soldering gun, that's why I make several pendants at once and switch in between. If the solder overheats, the shapes just fall off as everything gets liquid! #artstr #jewelry #handmade #soldering #nostrartstr

Here's step no. 3: reinforcing the edges of the soldered part with wire. This ensures more sturdiness and a more polished finish. It's slow work. Also, I'm still super grateful to my friends who didn't want for my hobbies to kill me and got me a fume extractor for my birthday a few years back.

I am making new pendants for a mineral expo next weekend. Step 1: cover with copper tape Step 2: solder the copper surfaces Steps 3-6 to follow.

That looks like a really nice person cooked it 💁

What a neat idea!

A really nice day for getting older ❤️

I got a lovely birthday present from Nature today 🥰 They would have gone bad in a day or two (noone goes to this hill), so I'm really happy we found them before that!
