I just finished my latest collage pin. I used an old black and white image of the Eiffel Tower and also a tiny image of a couple in love. The base is from an old French text book. It took awhile to cut the couple out. If you’re having trouble cutting out tiny images be sure to have a good sharp small pair of scissors, if they have cushion in the handle that helps alot. I use the Cutterbee brand, very comfy. Also try to keep your hand that holds the scissors still and move the paper instead. With some practice this will help your cutting improve.

This is just gorgeous, Heather. I’ve never done any soldering on my pieces but I just might give it a try!
