How to take better phone photography - with a mirror!
This week's #WildcardWednesday tutorial is how to take better photos of your jewelry with your phone. You'll need a laptop, mirror, jewelry, and (of course) your cellphone.
1. Choose a photo on your computer to be the background image. Enlarge the photo so it fills the screen.
2. Place a flat mirror across the keyboard of the laptop.
3. Place the piece of jewelry on the mirror.
4. Slowly close the lid of the laptop so the mirror reflects the image.
5. Take your shot!

The trick to keeping the oiler tip unclogged is to heat the metal and then allow the drop of flux to sizzle into place without touching the tip to the metal. Heat the metal again and watch it frost up and then melt into a syrup state so you can solder. Since you aren’t touching the metal with the applicator you don’t risk bumping anything out of place

A Lazy Susan in action! The silver is elevated on a piece of binding wire to be able to bounce the flame underneath. The Lazy Susan is from Ace Hardware, and other places.
