Precious Metal Clay

Precious Metal Clay is amazing.  It’s fine silver granules suspended in a clay-like binder that burns off when it’s fired at high temps.  It’s easily manipulated, takes texture really well, and does things that are really difficult in regular fabricating.  Three dimensional objects can be made and fired in a very short amount of time; for those of us (ahem) who might be a little short on patience, this is the perfect medium.  It can be soldered and patinaed.  Take a look at the pieces that I made with 20 grams of clay.  I wanted to limit the amount to see how many pieces could be made with a small amount of the clay.  Here are the results.
