I took a PMC jewelry class on saturday. We were assigned 2 projects so there wasn't much lea way to do what I wanted. But now that I know the technique I will be making loads of cute pieces. I made a pair of earrings, which I plan on making into 2 pendants, and an actual pendant. We made the pieces with layering to understand different ways of "joining" the PMC. For those of you not familiar with PMC, it's a clay that has organic materials and fine dust like pieces of either silver, gold, bronze and copper. The organic materials burn/evaporate when the piece is fired in a kiln at about 1650 farenheit leaving a beautiful fine silver piece. Having done ceramics, graphic art and fine art in school I just loved this!
