Solder :

Alloys fused and applied to the joint between metals to unite them without heating the metals to their melting point.

Pickle: 

an acid/chemical solution that metal objects are dipped in to remove oxide scale or other substances. "Cleans the metal"

"Flow" solder:

Objectives:
1. + vs. -
2. Piercing metals
3. Sweat soldering
4. Patina (oxidizers)
5. Jump Ring

Materials: 
2 copper (1x1)
patina
tool box

Steps: 

1. Think of a design to put on a keychain.
(you can draw or print on a piece of paper and glue it)
2. Pierce out your piece!
3. On the bottom side of the pierced copper flow solder (med/hard) >>> put into pickle to clean. 
4. Clean (Sand) the back of your piece and sandwich the flux and pieces together so they match up. 
5. @the Soldering bench:
~Heat your metal evenly 
~when the flux turns clear concentrate your flame on the solder
~you'll know it's soldered together if you see a sliver of silver between the metals. 
6. Yay! Clean metal in the pickle (5 min) Rinse off and Polish
7. Jump Ring:
~Drill a hole where you will attach a jump ring. 
~thread ring
~solder ring shut with soft/ easy solder
8. Patina: Liver of Sulfur
~Dip your piece into the liver of sulfur until it turns black. 
9. Sand and buffer any raised surface so it becomes clean metal color and the insides will be a black color, showing your design.

Silhouet Collage Part II

Silhouette Collage Part II: Background

Materials: Regular drawing pencil, eraser, color pencils, and Acrylic Medium (Modge Podge)

*You should have already outlined your silhouette*

Directions:

1. LIGHTLY with your pencil draw lines that create sections in the background of your paper. Make sure that those lines go all the way to the border. 

2. You can draw shapes or lines in the background but make sure that you are making lots of different sections that touch the border of your project. DO NOT SHARPIE THESE LINES

It will look kind of like a mosaic.

3. Using different color pencils fill each section with dramatic value. This means that each section should have all levels of value from 1 to 5. 

4. Concentrate on filling the whole section, with neat and even pencil strokes.

5. Create a layer of Acrylic Medium (Modge Podge) over your silhouette, making sure that you don't go past the black outline or into the border. 

6. Let dry! Done!
