What a fabulous tutorial this is, thank you so much. Your instructions are so clear and concise, your video is short and easy to watch. Very inspiring, I love your designs!
Thank you so much. I would love to be making more videos, but work so much in the vertical format for social media. Trying to figure out how to do both!
Amazing video, this is exactly what i've been looking for. Thanks so much for sharing 🤗. I was wondering how you would make a mould of a whole object like an acorn so you have the whole piece (rounded all over) rather than a flat back? :)
So glad to hear it's helpful. This question is worthy of its own video, and there are a few different options, but basically, you can encase the item entirely in the mold material, and when it's set, cut an opening for the object to come out and the clay to go in.
I do for security, yes. It's always the best idea. I know not everyone is set up to solder though. The alternative would be to use a gauge of jump ring that's heavy enough that it won't open on its own.
Good Q, but there is no coating. The white look is from the silver being unpolished. In this case I went straight from firing to sulfur and then polished as described.
I am trying silver clay myself, and its not turning orange in the firing process. I am using a firing torch. Does this mean the torch is not strong enough? Pls help me :(
There are a few ways. Enamel is the most enduring, though most complicated to apply. Wax-based colored products can give color to the recesses, but should be sealed. Finally, liver of sulfur can give vivid colors, but can't be counted on not to fade over time.

Hello very beautiful work what material do they occupy? Is it a silver-plated clay?
Subbed, just in case you decide to make more videos. I love metal clay
Thank you! I intend to make more, just not quickly :) Love making and sharing about silver clay
So cool ! Thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching!
I just learned about this clay and I’m so excited!! It’s so neat!!
Possibilities are endless!
Really cool, they remind me of fossils!
I like that! And there is a sense of discovery all along the way. Thank you!

Thank you for your tutorial. I'm new to silver clay and wondered which kind of Sculpey clay is best? Thank you
I prefer Sculpey III. It's either soft from the package or easy to soften with the heat of your hands.

When you added the chain with the jump ring on them connecting to the pendant did you have to solder the jump ring ends?
I do for security, yes. It's always the best idea. I know not everyone is set up to solder though. The alternative would be to use a gauge of jump ring that's heavy enough that it won't open on its own.
Did you clean the white coating after firing before using the liver of sulfur?
Good Q, but there is no coating. The white look is from the silver being unpolished. In this case I went straight from firing to sulfur and then polished as described.
Thank you.. You are amazing
Thank you!
I am trying silver clay myself, and its not turning orange in the firing process. I am using a firing torch. Does this mean the torch is not strong enough? Pls help me :(
It's hard to know exactly the problem, but if it's not reaching an orange glow I would say your guess is probably correct - torch isn't hot enough.
how many grams of silver do you need to make one pendent? similar to the size you made.
Those are probably 3g after firing. I hope this helps: ua-cam.com/users/shortsDELUpo54INo
@@BlueDotJewelry Thank you!
What release agent are you using I am not familiar with a liquid.
It's called CoolSlip, it's linked in my 'Supplies for Silver Clay' link

can any color be added to silver clay the same way that mica powder may be used to color polymer clay?
There are a few ways. Enamel is the most enduring, though most complicated to apply. Wax-based colored products can give color to the recesses, but should be sealed. Finally, liver of sulfur can give vivid colors, but can't be counted on not to fade over time.
All of those are after-fire additions. Nothing I know of would survive the firing process.
