Are you able to use the mold again? I've never tried mold making, so I'm curious.

Pssh this isnt real art REAL ART IS POETRY Y'ALL

IT'S "RELEASE ME, DAD" NOT "RELEASE ME, SILVER MOLD"

yes, but one could argue, Mickey, that the "Dad" was really the "silver mold" of the child's life.

take that to your poetry readings in your hippie coffee houses.

relaese is such a beautiful song....


yes..the fimoclay is baked in the oven on 135 degrees celcius for about 13 minutes...I can use it over and over again....my sister made fingerprints like this

oh, so that's how the fingerprints are done.

it's alternative glyph signs from 30 seconds to mars...they love their symbols!..haha...this is about 1,5 inch wide and 0.5 inch tall...very small signs...this took me over an hour and a half to get it right...had to start over once...

Whoo hoo, michelle's a silver slicker !
Love that piece. I'll have to get some info from my sister about a gal in Canada that sells silver clay at a reasonable price and fb message it to you. May or may not be a good deal for you depending on shipping cost.

I pay about 25 dollars for 10 gram of silver....and about 45 for 20 grams....

I can get 20 grams for about $19. metalclaysupply.com (nice site for tools, etc)
The gal in Canada sells it cheaper than that, I think. It's a bulk discount price though.

I'll fb message her site link to you as soon as I hear back from my sister.

that would be around 15 euro for 20 grams!...that's cheap!...so I could order 40 grams for about 30 euro...and some 12 $ shippingcosts? it fits in an envelope...
and it's the 650...silverclay??? I will check this site out!

why the hell is Mickey going around in Release Forum threads and starting shit? He does it in here, too.

Yes! metalclaysupply.com is a great site. That's the cheapest I've found it.
They also have a tutorial type site called Metalclayguru.com.

I'll still get that Canadian's contact info too. I haven't seen my sister yet. I don't want to bug her on her day off either, because we already spend nearly every day together. hahaha!



*shrugs*

I ckecked the site and for 20 grams it's about 34 $..not 19?

10 grams is about 19$...and that's about the same price i pay for it over here...

My camera stopped working on me yesterday. I couldn't get the fucker to power on to save my life! SO frustrating. So I just resigned myself to the fact that I'd have to buy a new camera. PFT!

I have two digital cameras, so I tried the other one. The latter not having the greatest macro feature. That one wouldn't power on either! Neither of them worked even after charging both batteries. I was freaking out and dreading having to spend the $ to buy a new camera. UGH. Disheartening.

I tried one more time today, before price shopping. I got power. Weird. Anyways...new stuff!

15 gauge cuffs.



Not sure that $175ea is a 'fair' price, but that's what I'm asking for these because I have some consignment contracts to consider.

I've been working on a design concept, somewhat based on the Taijitu symbol. A round cabochon, bezel set, with 'hugging' elements; the 'rusty' twirly things Chudbud was talking about.

A gal pal of mine from NYC asked me if I had anything turquoise, so I decided to use turquoise stones in these bracelets.

These two stones came from the same mine in Manassa, Co. I didn't cut these stones. My teacher cut them.





This piece of turquoise I did cut though. I'm happy with the way it turned out. the polka-dots are the actual turquoise.
No idea which mine it came from though.



All of the silver I used in these bracelets was recycled. I used nearly 3 ounces of scrap that I have collected from here and there; including an old silver spoon.

very nice...my sister is now experimenting with peices of glass and melting them with a burner...they turned out very nice and can be used in a ring or something....

Is she fusing glass now? That's fun. I wonder if you can use it in metal clay? I think you can. Also there's a range of faceted stones that you can safely embed in metal clay and fire them without cracking or discoloring.

Just got home from the Denver mineral shows and a bead show. Tee-hee!
Picked up some turquoise rough (Hubei) and a nice selection of bead strands. Fun stuff.

yes..you can use them in metalclay...glass melts at a higher temperature...and we also tried the gemstones...just put them in the clay and bigger ones in a little ball and fold around the stone...

Awesome. I've fused glass before. I just don't get an opportunity to very often. Glass makes for some nice cabs for jewelry.

My sister finally texted me the web URL for the gal in Canada. Not sure if it would be a good deal for you considering the shipping, but I'll fb message it to you the contact info. I haven't use metal clay all that much. Mostly to do the calla lily pendants.

This past weekend I saw a demonstration of Fretz hammers. OMG. Expensive........but the things one could do with these hammers and a stake set.
