I'm Addicted

It's official! I'm addicted to metal clay.  I have spent all of my spare time over the past few days making charms, pendants, and other things with silver clay.  

I start of with a lump of clay.

Then it is placed in a mold or free formed.

The clay is the dried thoroughly

Next I place it in the kiln.

When the clay comes out of the kiln. It is silver but it looks white. 

After the silver has been brushed with a brass brush, antiqued and burnished, this is what it looks like.
