Silver clay is clever stuff. It is very fine silver powder held together with a polymer resin which burns off on heating leaving a pure silver piece. I also like that it is all recycled material, as the silver is reclaimed from machine parts and computer components.
I have played with silver clay paste before, I bought a kit after watching my girl crush Kirstie Allsopp make a leaf necklace on TV.
Here are the ones I produced:
 |
| Some earrings |
 |
| Pendant |
 |
| Pendant set with a peridot, but I couldn't get it to set right so I had to use superglue :) |
So you would think I would find this easy, right? It turns out silver clay is a very different beast to silver clay paste!
