Made some picture frames

Super fun project to work on. Attached a sawtooth hanger and jump rings on the back.

Made this guy, took this picture, then dropped it.

If there was ever a time to find out just how soft lead really is —. Dropped this sucker on my foot immediately after taking this picture and it cracked. Great opportunity to play doctor and try to fix it next weekend. Super fun past couple of days. Walked to fireworks with my daughter from my fav spot in the city. Ate a shit ton of s'mores with my family. Went to OMSI and saw the Titanic artifacts exhibit. Round 2 of plant stakes. I acquired way too many 1 inch prisms and decided to grind them into circles.

Got the stems attached to these bad boys. Things I learned would be to not use the hobby came as a border. It doesn't provide any support. I would also not use copper foil on these, because a) you can see the foil, which looks dumb and b) the thicker came hides all of the foiling mistakes you made while watching American Dad. I would use 1/8 lead came for the insides of these, which is what's happening on the NEXT round. Will also explore using enamel paint rather than Pebeo 160. It has been disappointing through every project I've included it on so far.
