Here's a picture of the cross...finally. Great gift for Christmas. With the rain and no sun outside, I'm reluctant to go in a create anything new. Just feel like curling up on the couch and catching up on "In Treatment."

Finally asked a fellow member of Etsy about my soldering problem. What a wonderful person and loads of information she gave me. I attempted what she told me, and to my surprise it worked. Looking forward to getting back to making rings tomorrow. I have about 10 cut out...so I'm very excited. Thanks Melissa for all your thoughts...they were so very helpful.

Okay, after a long, long absence from my blog site, I have decided to make time for it again. Lots of complicated things happening in my studio. My pickeling solution is not working right, which is making me crazy. I have changed it several times and can't seem to get it right. I can solder some things, but others will not solder. VERY FRUSTRATING!!!!! Anyway, I have decided to concentrate on earrings, bracelets and rings, once I get the solution to work. Necklaces just don't seem to be selling like they used to. Too much work, time and materials involved to keep messing with it. I'll do a few, but not like I used to. Okay, enough of that. Looking forward to getting my next 10 rings completed and on Etsy. Loving Etsy and the community of people I'm meeting on there. Lots of new things in my shop. Check it out at http://www.etsy.com/shop/MissieRabdau. Have a great day.
