…everything that I need to make the faux soldered pendant that I talked about yesterday. I went to Michaels, and although they didn’t have the 2 x 2 inch Memory Glass, they did have 1.5 x 1.5. I decided that it would do. They also didn’t have the platinum UTEE, but they had gold and bronze. I selected the gold; maybe that will look okay. I just didn’t feel like hunting around a hundred other stores for the platinum, and I want to make the thing now, not have to wait for an order to arrive. But I probably will order some for future use, it might be something good to have in my stash of supplies.
In the jewelry making department, I was unable to find 22-gauge wire, I ended up getting a multi-pack of 26-gauge, a whole bunch of different colors. A little thinner, but I think it will do. I don’t think the Faux Soldering Police are going to come by and arrest me!
I also had to get a pair of round-nosed pliers, for making loops with the wire. Mike was all, “but I already have a pair of those…someplace”. The key word here is “someplace”. Translation: I might be able to find them withing the next decade. The heck with that, I ponied up the six bucks to buy my own.
What was really cool was that when I was in line, this lady in front of me had an extra coupon for 25% off your entire purchase, and she gave it to me! Thanks again, whoever you are!

Next was digging out all of the rest of the stuff that I need. I really should have done that BEFORE going shopping, just in case I was out of something that I thought I had. I did have to dig around a bit to find those beads that I KNEW I had…my there was a lot of stuff in that drawer that I forgot I had. Thermal labels, a couple of ink-jet cartridges for a printer I don’t have any more, a couple of Stampin’ Up sets that need to be mounted so I can use them…so much stuff, so little space!
All that remains before I can get started is to print out copies of the photo in the correct size. I will work on the actual project while listening to the Sox game this afternoon.
