Absolute utter excitement: I have finally taken delivery of a blowtorch! I am so pleased with this - it's something I've been itching to get my hands on for a while now. I've been interested for a while in the idea of making more of my jewellery components from scratch: especially the idea of making pagan pendants in silver. I've just started doing a course with silver art clay, which allows you to do exactly what I'm looking for, but then you have to fire them. I looked at the idea of a home kiln, but once I'd seen the £300 price tag, that wasn't going to happen. But... you can use a blowtorch instead! My mum was a bit thrown when I announced that that was what she'd bought me for my birthday, but she's used to me buying odd things.
It finally turned up last week, at which point I realised that I'm going to have to get hold of butane refills for it. So it's still in the box. I will get there eventually!
