I, too, want to learn to solder. I watched a friend do it last week and it didn't seem completely out of reach. I think I'm off to the stained glass store tomorrow...

I buy a lot of my soldering supplies here: http://www.warner-criv.com. I've ordered lots of times over the past few years, and always receive the order in a timely manner, never had any issues. I buy microscope slides here. Much less expensive to buy a full box here than to buy in smaller quantities as often sold through various art supply websites. http://wardsci.com/ I just got that book today- it’s full of so many lovely and inspirational things!

I got it last week and I also am excited by the eye candy and love her sense of humor too and her sense of whimsy. I am now learning to solder. Someone mentioned above Volcano Arts. I use them and they're great. Fast shipping and so helpful if you email with questions. Here's one thing I learned from Volcano. Sally uses Silver solder and it's not compatible with a 100w soldering iron...which of course I have, :-( so make sure if you want to use the silver solder to ask which is the best iron to use with it. Soldering is certainly harder than it looks LOL! Oh, that book is to die for! I got it last week and I also am excited by the eye candy and love her sense of humor too and her sense of whimsy.
