I came across this product just before Christmas. It’s like clay, so it can be sculpted – but it is actually silver particles in a binder. When the clay is dry it is fired. This burns off the binder, the particles are sintered together and the clay becomes a solid piece of pure silver.
I used to make jewellery with polymer clay (Fimo, etc) so I really wanted to try this. I ordered a starter kit over Christmas, but had to wait to the beginning of this week for it to arrive. I finally got round to trying it today.
I made a pendent with a rose in the middle. Let it dry, then fired it this evening. I finished it off with brushing and burnishing. I’m really happy with the result (though I need to practice my finishing technique).
