A Design Originals book about making jewlery and other fun things using solder. This technique is sometimes known as Faux Soldering, Glass Soldering, or Tinning, and can be used with Memory Glass Slides and Memory Foil Tape. The book shows how you can make charms of virtually anything - Scrabble tiles, game pieces, pottery shards, coins. We used to think of soldering as something you do to attach wires to a board, but now we understand what is happening with soldering glass! You are not really soldering things together so much as covering strips of copper foil with solder, which is a nice shiny silvery color because it's mostly tin. Along the way you can solder on a jump ring, of course, to make a charm or pendant, so there is some attaching going on. More importantly, you are creating a nice frame around an object to make it into jewelry. Price: $11.00 [List: $12.99] Memory Frames Inkssentials Memory Frames were developed especially for the Inkssentials Memory Glass, to encase and protect your glass creations. Complete with pre-soldered, matching jump ring, these easy-to-use, hinged frames allow you to make instant ornaments, scrapbook embellishments and jewelry. Note: The 1" x 1" frame has jump rings on two sides for making a bracelet. Available in three finishes: Polished Chrome, Antique Copper and Black Patina, and three sizes to fit the Memory Glass line perfectly. According to Ranger, the frames should be opened slightly and carefully to slide the Memory Glass inside before closing. Intended for one-time framing of artwork.
