    I’m so happy I found you! I’ve been wondering how to make caps with silver clay.
    Do you not worry about the shrinkage cracking the clay as it fires?

    • @tendingahandmadelife
      @tendingahandmadelife  Місяць тому

      Yay!!! Since the clay achieves its shrinkage in 3D, I allow for that by rolling out the clay a tiny bit thicker. I use 2 thick pieces of cardstock. Good luck!

    Very interesting. Just curious have you tried firing the stones after putting the PMC on the stones?

    • @tendingahandmadelife
      @tendingahandmadelife  Рік тому +2

      There are some stones that will survive firing, but the crystals I use will not. Stones like amethyst or citrine or topaz May survive, but the color burns out. Things like jasper or opaque stones like turquoise and lapis, have too many inclusions and will blow up. Stones that survive firing are corundum (rubies and sapphires), garnet, peridot (fired at a lower temp) and a few others.

    It would be a good idea to get a stand so you can put your filming device right above you so its like were looking out of your eyes cuz its hard to see what's really going on from the side at a horizontal view....

    • @tendingahandmadelife
      @tendingahandmadelife  Рік тому +1

      Thanks. I've thought about that, but I so rarely do these kinds of demonstrations, not sure it's worth the investment. If I find myself drawn to making more of these kinds of videos, I'll definitely look into a different setup.

    Looking for a rotary tool to cut my stone. You mentioned using a diamond cut off wheel. Anything you would specifically recommend as far as brands for the Dremel?

    • @tendingahandmadelife
      @tendingahandmadelife  Рік тому +1

      I don't really have any brand preferences for tools and tend to buy what's available from the wholesale supplier, Rio Grande. A couple of other options to consider, www.cooltools.us/ and contenti.com/ . Both good companies with quality products.🙏

    Can those crystals withstand the high temperatures when firing silver art clay?

      No, not at all. The videos show how I make the caps separate and then affix them afterwards. Good luck!

      @@BobbieWilsonATX Hi again. Apologies that I wasn't clear in the first video. The paperclay and the metal clay are fired together. I'm just now uploading Part 2 and hopefully that will solve your questions and give you a better visual for how it all works. Let me know if it all makes sense after watching Part 2!

      I work with fine silver Precious Metal Clay (silver-clay.com/). Metal clay is available in a variety of forms and metals. I fire my pure silver metal clay in a small kiln to 1650F for 2 hours. Some varieties can also be fired with a jeweler's torch.
