I HAVE MADE FIRE!

I decided this is the year I am finally going to master to soldering with silver. I started with rings as they are small, work up relatively quickly, and don't require a lot of material. I made one ring a day for a week. The first one didn't even stay together, so it became a pendant, and I melted a LOT of silver. But as you can see, I made some progress every day.

I feel like Tom Hanks in the movie Castaway the first time he made fire! I even did a little fire dance, :-)
