Looking for a little help for a craft project
ok everyone, I have been trying to fill my days with things I love, or things I have always wanted to do. Yoga is now an everyday part of my life, and I have wanted to get back into a creative mode. I recently bought a book on soldering. Have always been fascinated, so I went out and bought a soldering gun. A plug in one, not ready for the one with fire- it scares me still. One of the projects I am working on involves silver ware. Sterling- the real stuff. I have been searching locally at thrift shops and salvation army and good will, and coming up empty. I have bid on 3 on ebay, but thats it so far. So my request to any of you who want to join in on my scavenger hunt, is if you go to tag sales, or shop re-sale shops, if you could take a minute and look for silver spoons( any: tea, soup) and knives are good, forks as a last resort. Havent found a use for forks yet, but I have only just begun creating. I would say, no more than $1.00 per piece. If thrift store shopping, you might be ble to find them for 10 cents or so. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I will reimburse 100%, and will share a little somethin somethin too. Thanks, and I cant wait to hear from you…….. <3 Sandy
sandy, I’ll look out for silverware for you. I saw a some really nice earrings made out of the ends of spoons, curved around the lobe.
I LOVE going to garage and tag and thrift sales, and it’s all starting up just now.
Go well. Took my palazzo pants material out of the box today - checked the thread etc. will start cutting tomorrow.
That’s great that you’ve found some new hobbies to enjoy! I totally need a hobby….
Anyway, I’ll be sure to check a thrift store or two around here for ya! I haven’t been into any of those kinds of places in a long time…it will be fun to go in and look around! Especially if I have something in particular to shop for!
Is silverware pure silver? Glad you have a new hobby. And the yoga…great! Seems as though you are headed in the right direction. Sometimes it takes something like an injury to make us stand up and take notice.
Cheers
