I think it's the perfection of that bark. I'd hate to "ruin" it. Gnomes are pretty popular right now. I found mine at dollar stores (Dollar General and Dollar Tree).

But its wonderful to hop around and see what everyone has made. The solder looks great. I have been wanting to try strip soldering with an iron and even signed up for a class before the lock down. Hopefully, everything should clear up. Until then I will wait to see how you put together the gnomes as a sceneDivya Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17522282917004358863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041495809860773419.post-88066928522583604522020-03-28T16:54:35.942-05:002020-03-28T16:54:35.942-05:00Your necklace is beautiful, and I'm always wan...Your necklace is beautiful, and I'm always wanting to find new projects to do with bark.

I really want to elevate it to the level of magic that it deserves. So, I'm giving it time to marinate before I go for it.

However, I just have a small craft room. My husband assures me that just blowing the little wisps of smoke away from my face is sufficient for ventilation - though I did wear a mask the last time I soldered since I was working on a big pile. I say go for it! I'm so glad you like my contributions.

Plus, it already feels like summer in my neck of the woods.

The piece of bark is really awesome and I am sure when the mood strikes you will create a wonderful little scene with the bark and those gnomes. Your collage is adorable.
