    How/where will you fire it?

    Your accumulation of talents is starting to annoy me by the way. Where is the green with envy smilie when you need it?:D

    If ndg is using fimo, then oven baking will suffice if i remember this corectly?

    The clay I'm using is Art Silver Clay 650, rather than fimo, which you can fire on the largest ring of a gas stove with a metal mesh cage.

    It's actually sintering rather than casting - the clay is made of tiny particles of silver, with an organic binding holding them together. When the item is fired, the organic binder burns off (whcih means that your finished item is approximately 9% smaller than the pre-fired clay version) and the silver particles, at 650 degrees C or higher, then sinter together. After firing, you finish up with an item that is fine silver - or 99%+ silver. Sterling silver is 92.5%, from memory.

    You can get sterling silver clay, but that needs a kiln, and I don't have one.

    Fine silver is a bit softer than sterling, but perfectly suitable for jewellery, or things like that. You can also harden it post-firing, which I usually do.

    I don't have any particular accumulation of talents, I just try things!

    GBD can attest to having seen my 14ft wide, 11.5 ft high curtains in our living room - but only from the outside, as he was passing on the way to the tube.

    I feel that we should take a moment to give silent thanks that there is no second hand vajazzle/body jewels market on Amazon at present.

    That definitely, definitely needs a NOT SAFE FOR WORK OR SMALL CHILDREN label attached!

    Nearly put me off my cup of tea, that did.

    Did you, by any chance, feel that you were giving something brain space that you really didn't want to take up residence in your grey matter?

    I didn't want that to take up residence within 100 miles of me.

    Let alone in my grey matter.

    I will now have to ingest several large glasses of Glenmorangie in a probably futile attempt to wipe that image from my short term memory.

    I blame Michaels if I'm sub-par at work tomorrow.

    I might never want to have sex again - and I blame Michaels, too (-:

    The only way to go.

    Unless you have friends in low places, and secure VIP hospitality passes.

    Which we have for T in the Park next weekend.

    Lucky you! I definitely move in the wrong circles.

    Still, I get a free ticket, some of my days off as volunteering leave, a few free meals, and the satisfaction of putting up my own tent (assuming I can remember how and it is still in one piece) :)
