Andrea's Studio

This was me showing a customer the different colors of glass to choose from

You want plump ballz? Once your lead has cooled you can grab a bead of lead and plop it down. As long as it's cooled it'll stick and stay nice and plump thicc. If it's not pretty on the top, add some fresh flux and touch the tip of the soldering iron to the top of the ball.

Working on a few things between sanding the staircase and snow days.

What time does your mail come!!!!! I've been waiting all day for you to get your mail!

I think I don't like the cleanup the most. Having to clean the flux, then dry and polish etc immediately after I've been sitting for hours soldering.

I've been redoing our staircase but took a break to make a tiny.

I tried lead free, too. All of my Christmas ornaments were lead free in case they were gifts. I prefer lead solder. But lead free has its purpose.

Things you can do that are more enjoyable than watching Trump's inauguration:

- have diarrhea
- give yourself paper cuts
- pull out a single nose hair at a time
- walk barefoot through a room full of legos
- get a sunburn
- eat your toenail clippings
- chew on aluminum foil

Ornaments I made.
