Custom Made for Mom

Just wanted to share a picture of the pendant that I made for my mom. My dad purchased a whopping trillian cut Citrine gemstone and asked me to make a pendant with it. She doesn't wear silver and that's pretty much all that I work with -- so to accomodate her love of gold, off to the side of the pendant is a flower and... two leaves which I accented with 24kt gold. It needs a bit of polishing, but I'm pleased with the results!

 This whole piece is made using PMC3, and 24kt Accent Gold.

After Oxidizing

Here's my pendant after oxidizing it last night! I just love the way it turned out...it's exactly as I had envisioned it in my minds eye. I love it when things turn out the way you picture them too!

PMC3 vs Art Metal Clay

I love PMC3!! I just worked with PMC3 today and in my previous posts I used Art Metal Clay 650 Slow Dry....holy crow the difference is amazing! I just ordered a huge amount of PMC3 because it was so much easier, cleaner...just everything about it was lovely! Below are some pictures of the piece I made using PMC3....Yes it's for me...it's my business logo...the Goddess with my name in it and adorned with some cz's (one to dot my "I" and the other to represent the full moon). Please excuse the quality of the photos, they've been taken just under my kitchen lights instead of in natural light.

I'm wearing it as we speak but I think I'm going to take it off to oxidize it so the Goddess and my name stands out more. Oh, and I didn't quench it after firing so the stones are in perfect condition :)
