Re: KJ's Pendants
Hey GK, PMC3 so far with various bits soldered on after firing. I'll make a post over on the Metal Clay board.
Here's a lil dyed welo. I didn't make this setting. Even though it's not gem quality cause it's dyed it's still pretty. Bright lil thing!

Rustic Silver Leaf pendant with a Welo Opal. PMC again but used the torch to melt it a bit so it would pit for a rustic look.

Re: KJ's Pendants
I really like the leaf, KJ! Did you use a 'real' leaf as a mold (guess that's the word?)?

Re: KJ's Pendants
Yup. Sure did. I painted PMC slip directly on a leaf in multiple layers building up the thickness. You're supposed to be able to let the leaf burn out when firing but the greenware slipped off the leaf so I didn't get to try this.

Re: KJ's Pendants
More coming later once I finish the photos. I've been very busy!
Fire Agate & Garnet. This was supposed to be a dangle on another pendant but I liked it better alone.

This one was sculpted in metal clay. I'm going to refine this a bit and make a mold.

And this one was a commission. She hasn't seen it yet so I hope she like it. It's a very nice opal.

Re: KJ's Pendants
Very nice work KJ. That last one looks like the one you asked for opinions on which opal to use for the customer. I think she's going to love it! If she's not a mail order customer let us know how she reacts when she sees it.

Re: KJ's Pendants
ok, here's more from this week. (still have to photo one more too) WHEW!!
Really pleased with this one. I'll be reusing this design. Will probably use a gold bezel next time. Opal is semi-black from LR. Price is too low on this one but I need $$ right now after purchasing a kiln. So fingers crossed. lol

Black opal from LR with a interesting green swirl.
