I use easy silver solder for mine. Batterns flux. I forge, flatten and shape both ends of the wire to fit leaf or stem. Little torch oxy and acte. My favorites the stem and the leaf are one piece. the stem wraps up along the leaf when sawing. I forge it straight, roll it, shape to a long taper, roll them up into a tube. There are a bunch of other ways. I also like doing things as cold constructions. no solder. I'm currently doing a run of 100 hybiscus. there are 13 pcs to these flowers as cold constructions they take too long . Maybe I can get pics up this weekend. Brad
