As promised, here are photos of little bits I made using PMC. They're not wildly exciting, but it was just a day to learn the techniques and so on. The little dabs of colour are where I melted glass beads onto the PMC - apparently it bonds quite well because the silver is porous (or something like that. I have a memory like a fish). I also oxidised a couple of the pieces using liver of sulphur (potassium sulphide), which is what made one of the pieces have a sort of rainbow sheen. Sorry the pictures are a bit rubbish, but my camera isn't good at taking photos of small things.*
I was thinking of putting the last one on a ring. I'll have to polish it up and file the edges and so forth, but that's easy enough to do.
I keep coughing and have had a headache all day. I think I might have caught something, which is rather annoying.
I'm miss the workshop at college - I have a longing to use the powerhammer to make jewellery..
*And the sizes of the photos look strange, but my head is really sore so I'm not going to do anything about it right now.
