Well, against all odds, I finished it! I learned a lot of life lessons while making this POS (After all I've done to this little symbol, I believe it deserves to be called that). So you know what it is! Let's see what Katy did, shall we? xD I got really pissed making this... so there are like 3 pictures ^^"

After tracing the design on the sticker paper and applying it to the metal, I layered the two pieces of metal ontop of each other and cut them so that they would kind of clasp onto each other:  Let's just say, this wasn't the smartest thing... let me show you why later...

 \

When you do these things: REMEMBER TO ADD ENOUGH OF THE LITTLE CLASP THINGIES OR...

Slips will happend... -.-"

What I eneded up doing was just cutting them separately.... but that was just the beginnings of my problems......

Let me quickly summarize what had happened:

The solder wouldn't flow; the invisible rivet wouldn't go invisible; the piece wasn't really centered.... and more...

I was so frustrated I wanted to throw it all in the trash and start over >.< 

I ended up trying to fix everything and I think it turned out okay:

The mask holes aren't centered... >.< but I think I can fix it... I'll just have to rub off the patina, close all the holes and make new ones... yep... I think I' can get that done :P

But yeah. I like this version a lot better than the first one. I just wish it didn't have to take so much work... I spent about.... 4 or more hours on this POS... >.<

But life lessons learned:

• It's okay to make mistakes. Try to limit the number of them you make and try to fix all the ones you made
• Even when it looks bleak, don't give up
• If it looks like crap, ask yourself if it's salvable. If it's not, toss it. If it is, try to save it. You never know.
• Don't touch sharp wire. You will bleed 

This has nothing to do with jewelry, but here's something else:

• When you're up to no good, make it look like you know what you're doing. No one will ever suspect you or ask you what's going on  

Yep, that's it... my finger still hurts... >.< oh well. I'll deal with it. At least this POS is almost done *sighs* 

So... what do you guys think?
