Hi all! A couple of more cabs made with .999 siver metal clay fired in a kiln. I actually cut, ground and polished the agate!!

Beautiful  btw...if you make your photos smaller (less Kb's), you'll be able to post more than if you use larger (more Kb's) size one. The forum has a "folder" for photos...a general folder, and a personal folder for everyone. If your folder gets full of Kb's, you can't post anymore for awhile...few days. Just thought I'd save you the headache, of getting the "your folder is full" [and you can't put that photo up] message. |

Nice work! How did you handle the bezels, or did you fire the stones in-place?

Thanks Don--I didn't even know there are folders. I will find them!
I soldered the bezel on afterwards on both although there are "tabbed bezels" that you can fire in place and still set the stone after.

Those are pretty cool. I like how you can get all the texture and patterns using the metal clay.

You can't "find" them, it's on the forum's server(s) |

Thanks for sharing your metal clay work. It's some of the best I've seen.

Yep, I too, I really like the texture.
Do you have stamps in that design, or do you draw them by hand?

Hi all! Thansk very much.
@ Kurt--there are so many texture stamps, rubber tiles etc. that you simply roll the clay over. Now there are incredible artists out there who actually carve their clay once it is dry. Mine are all rolled/stamped.
Thank you but I am an advanced beginner in both metal clay and lapidary/silver. If you are on Facebook, check out Metal Clay Europe and see some amazing metal clay work. Also look up on web--Lisa Lynn Barth, Holly Ginsberg and Anna Mazoń to start with. There is a huge Polish community of metal clay artists as well.

No worries, just asked because the writing is so clean, and thats something extremely hard to copy for a non-Chinese.
