Terri, I don´t mind, I used Mona Lisa Speedball powder metal. The small bottle lasted me for years, until I lost a lot of it by accidentally dropping it (got a silver foot after that, at least for the evening). When trying to replace it I had a hard time finding it. I found a similar product at a local art supply store and will be trying it. For clay I used Kato.

When you said you try to break something before selling, you hit a chord with me. I do the same, having learned the hard way. Lovely pieces.

If you don’t mind saying would love to know what kind and where you get the powdered metal. If you would rather not, I understand. Love your aesthetic.

I am finally persuaded to invest in some clay and lessons. The silver is a great colour. Thanks Kate.

Your words are encouraging. Mary Anne, I cover the clay, when it is raw, with actual powdered metal and at 300 degrees it anneals in the oven. This is what gives it the metallic look.

I too like “weird” jewelry, and big bold statements. I am often scared to make it to “sell.” You give me courage! Thank you so much!

Oh….I would never guess that was polymer clay- 2 of the pieces look like cast sterling silver!

And evidently your audience does too, since your “different and weird” jewelry was so well received and quickly sold. These pieces are wonderfully different – the “Spikes Pendant” is my favorite.
