Soldering vs. Painting

My vote goes for painting. I've taken a break from painting the last two days--I've been soldering jump rings on pendants, and making a couple of new things, including these ornaments. They turned out nicely--printed with Epson archival pigment ink on gessoed antique German Bible pages.

But I'm putting away the soldering iron right now in favor of doing some more painting. Looking forward to it!
