Happy!

Well.. what I can tell?! Very very happy with firing results. First time FastFire bronze clay and perfect firing, even without test pieces! But two steps method and 1525F did it. First time double hinges also. Ah feels good:o)

"Reading Room" pendant from homemade bronze and copper clay finished nicely too. Such an interesting kiln patina, so I decided to leave it as it is, just brush off dirt and a little sanding the lamp (as it should be shining:o) Now I should decide about the chain, or find something interesting or assemble myself?!

Holiday spirit

Full of Holidays spirits-Hanuka, Kucios, Christmas, New Year. And all of them holidays of lights - beautiful, full of meanings. Human spirit soars to the height with good will, giving and share. Here our family lights of holidays:o)

Archie got a lot of treats to allow us to make these photos:o)

Meanwhile playing with...

 metal clay architectural forms, will see what will come from this greenware:o)

 

 ... and of course with wool. I saw on FB some interesting coat clasp, so I decided to try that on wool booties. Of course big natural wood buttons would be more appropriate, but couldn't find, so used polymer clay faux wood pattern.
