Paula... I adore bronze - I'm using the Prometheus Bronze (and now Copper) from Turkey and I adore it! The firing time is much easier than the other bronze clays and it's stunning. I just did my first load of Prometheus Copper (last weekend) and it's wonderful! I hit it with a torch and got the most insanely gorgeous hot pink and purple patinas - all my pieces were posted last night and gone today! Who knew!? :o) If I can be of any help w/ your move forward to getting your clay out of the 'safe' drawer let me know! :o) It's an addiction though - I will warn you! :O)Cindy ~https://www.blogger.com/profile/03889265994847184775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6092607896206252169.post-74375282824855050102011-03-19T08:20:33.968-05:002011-03-19T08:20:33.968-05:00SUCH Bravery paid off, Keep it up~ I have some si...SUCH Bravery paid off, Keep it up~ I have some silver and bronze clay in a "safe" drawer...

And I'm looking at the bronze buttons in the picture above (the big square one with the floral design) and not seeing them in your shop. Where are they??? Yes, I also love the fire-patinas on these! This bronze can be kind of washed out looking without a patina on it and I think your torch is just the ticket!<br /><br />I worried a little too that this (selling my stuff) would become "work", and it would have, if I had to support myself with it. As it was, it didn't really matter if I sold anything or not--the investment was within my budget. And I found it was FUN to throw a piece out there and see if anybody nibbled at it. It's like fishing (except it's fun)!! I love making something "just because" and throwing it out there. I really don't like custom work. It's the rebel in me.lunedreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12194017326383981105noreply@blogger.com
