This is where I'll be showing off my metal clay creations. I've been longing to try out metal clay since, well, at least one and a half year ago, and now I have finally begun working with this amazing material. Even if it does take some planning and knowledge to get the most out of metal clay, it was easier than I had imagined.
This is my first piece. It's a small pendant with an apple green CZ. I am really happy with how it turned out. It was a real adrenaline rush to fire it - I always worry a lot when trying out new, potentially dangerous techniques. I used my gas stove to fire it, which worked out very well.
Thanks for stopping by!

It is a very pretty pendant! I've always wanted to do metal clay too. I did not know that you can use a gas stove to fire metal clay. Will an electric stove work too? If it will then I'm going to get me some clay!

Very nicely done! I've got a kiln and even some PMC that my hubs bought me a while back, but I'm still working up the nerve to use it all. . .You may have inspired me. Thanks! And keep it up!
ReplyDeleteTherese: Thank you so much! Unfortunately, I don't think the electric stove will work. The gas stove works because the flame on the stove is more os less the same as the one you get with the torch. :(
ReplyDeleteHope: You lucky girl! I wish I had a kiln too. You can do so much fun, like copper clay and even gold! Maybe I can try to do someting like a tutorial, even if I'm quite unexperienced myself. I found that you don't really need that many things to get started.
