Cost was one of the factors that put me off, but I was also keen to be pretty comfortable with metal working before I took it on. I think, it retrospect, that, for me, was the right decision. I’ve already learnt so much since I posted these, it’s a very steep learning curve.

Your pieces are gorgeous. I been wanting to try PMC too. But the cost also keeps me from trying. I’ve just recently started working some with copper sheeting, but have yet done any soldering. So I guess it will be awhile before I can venture into the clay.

Thanks Gale – I’ve been wanting to try it for a while, but the need to kiln fire copper took it out of reach for me, as did the price of the silver.

Thanks Maisy – I’ll need to get a lot more confident with the process before I risk the price of the silver clay. I should be listing some of the finished pieces soon, but making things is much more enticing at the moment. I’ll have to knuckle down to it on Monday though, I’m way behind.

I’m ridiculously excited to see you working with copper clay – and will be biding my time until you reach for the silver version! Let me know when you start listing on Etsy because I am madly in love with those earrings on your Flickr! Absolutely awesome start, Boo; I can feel only good things will come of this new turn. xxx

I’ve been wanting to try this, but as you say, the cost-benefit analysis can put a crimp on the first step towards something new! It really helps to read about how someone else is faring. Thanks for sharing the process!
