Flamingo take 2....I'm working a different tactic and sweat soldered my pieces together BEFORE I do the bezel and texturing. It is in the pickle now, but I can tell I'm going to have a better outcome. I also made him just a little bigger. I'm toying with the idea of making some little tiny silver flowers to solder at his feet...or would that be too busy? #handmade #jewelry #copperjewelry #birthdaygift
