So's. Some might have seen the photo I posted of the Soul Eater Grinning Moon.
Which I'm now moving to my scraps folder.

I'd made it once,setting the beads in the pattern and all.
When finished I decided to use wax paper in substitution
of the regular paper that comes with the beads.
That resulted in that picture of the messed up moon I
linked in the beginning of this journal.

So I fixed it. And went to use ...yet again different paper.
This time Parchment paper used in baking. It seemed to
be working. No sticking to the iron or anything. I thought the
beads had melted enough and took the iron off and set
the piece,paper still in place and all,aside to cool off.

The beads tend to curl up off of the grid when cooling so when
I went back to check on them I wasn't worried. until I took the
paper off and saw that ALOT of the beads hadn't melted opposed
to the some that did.

-_- Suffice to say I was annoyed and frustrated because
I couldn't just simply go re-iron the piece. Things are out of
place and maybe not salvageable at all.

I think the iron wasn't hot enough to start off with.

*sighs* So I'm just gonna set the entire thing aside for
awhile and leave it alone. Maybe at a later date I'll go back to
it and try to save it somehow. But for now I need to remove
myself from it and work on something else. As much as I'd like
everything I try to work out the first time I attempt it. It doesn't
always work out as such. And that's why second chances are
available as well. So we can try again.
