Mother O' Mine

This was meant to be a mother's day gift, but I kinda messed it up; but she got something a whole lot better anyway! Good concept, execution needs work.

I wanted to insert the dried flower from my garden into the glass on one side and use the wavy foil around the edges on the other. The piece turned out great when I was done, all I had to do was clean off the flux residue. I used the flux remover & I ran it under the water to rinse the cleaner off ........the water went under a piece of foil and onto the photo under the glass and made the ink run. @#%!&#@! I'm glad no one was around, I was not a happy camper!

Anyway, I will remake this project, but have to remember to burnish my foil real good or wipe instead of rinse to remove the flux cleaner next time!
