Art Clay is Magical

Art Clay, (a type Precious Metal Clay-PMC), is a special type of clay that once fired, turns into .999 fine silver. (There are also copper, bronze, and gold types.) This was my second time trying my hand at it, and I will admit I was a little too ambitious in my designs. And I had never tried stones or the syringe type of clay, so I ran into problems. I managed to save all the pieces (they all almost broke or did break at some point). They ended up not looking like my original design idea. Not super happy with the rings, pretty happy with the butterfly. But, art clay is pretty cool anyway, no matter what the finished piece looks like. It's clay that turns into silver after all!
