I've been trying my hand at soldering the last few weeks,
dwelling in a place where I've never felt quite comfortable.
As with most things in my life, I am my OWN teacher.
I wander the internet searching for clues, but in the end
I know it's just me & my soldering iron taking this journey.
With every brush of flux & every pass of my iron,
this foreign place begins to feel like home.
The fear subsides & is replaced with reluctant confidence.
I let go of the idea of perfection & embrace the joy of creation
& learn to do exactly what my dear friend told me...
to find the beauty in the Perfectly Imperfect.
I LOVE the smell of soldering...
XOXO

That is a stunning piece! Looks to me like you're getting the hang of it just fine. After all, the beauty is often in the slight imperfections!

ReplyDeleteLove your little story and I adore the piece! :)
ReplyDeleteHugs,
How do you feel about the smell of burning hair...'cause I guarantee that's all you'd be sniffing if I even tried to do anything this beautiful while armed with a soldering gun. Law...I burn myself on the carpet...can you imagine me with heat?
ReplyDeleteIt truly is a perfect piece of art Suze!
