melting pot
I have had lots of emails this morning asking what a melting pot is. Here is mine before I used it yesterday - I have had it for quite some time. I turned it on, added UTEE and when it melted I dipped the charms in (couldn't find the tongs so used my fingers and only burnt them a little) - I also added some Opalettes as they have lovely colours and some sparkle. I couldn't find my gold UTEE so I used bronze and it needed a tiny lift. I shall improve!

Dale, I just love it when someone who creates pieces as good as you do takes all the shortcuts (i.e. no tongs!) and grabs things they have to hand - and then is frank enough to admit it for all the world to see. Thank you :)
How come we didn't get a before you used it and an after you used it photo.
I used the Royal Shiraz threads on my Tast sample this week--I think I probably wasted them on a worthless stitch.
