Ok, I admit it – I have kindergartner tendencies. You know how kindergartners are always so thrilled to learn something new, they just have to share with everyone. Well, this past week, I took a class in silver clay. Let’s just pretend this blog is a big refrigerator so I can hang up my new artwork.
The detail achievable with silver clay is incredible. I’m going to love playing and creating with it.

You did a wonderful job – it is beautiful! I can’t wait to see what else you come up with!!
Kindergartner tendencies are a GOOD thing! The joy of new experiences should stay with us as we grow older (if not UP!). Love this piece; it looks great with the chain.
Thanks Robin and Susan. I am so excited about this wonderful new technique for crafting fine jewelry! I am still gathering some of the tools I’ll need, but hope to begin creating next week.
It’s GORGEOUS! I’m pea green you get to play with this stuff Maria! Did you use silver or bronze? It looked bronzy in the photo, so had to ask . Good goin’ , girl – glad you screwed up your courage and jumped in after your class!
Hi Kim – it was silver – took photo outside, close to sunset time, which gives everything that nice rosy glow. I didn’t adjust the color because I won’t be selling this piece. Metal clay is not as hard as I imagined – but not that easy either! Does take practice to get a feel for it – and the mistakes while learning are not inexpensive!
