Metal Clay

I have been dying to work with metal for quite some time. The look of it just inspires and excites me. I love the shiny sterling to the matte look of stainless steel.

As of right now silversmithing is out of the question. So I am opting for a cheaper option in the near future. Metal Clay. That is the main reason I started with polymer, for the practice. The more I research and see the more the itch is taking over!

Before I start trying to convince my husband it is not a waste of money to start saving for I would like more info! I can't find any jewelry stores that have Ny or any classes so the Internet is basically my only form on information.

I will just make a straight forward list of questions if ANYONE has an answer to any or all I will be quite grateful!

-Is it a lot like polymer?

I wanted to do the less expensive route of torching, can I make rings with a torch brand that is softer?

Any specific brands better than others?

What tools do I REALLY need and what are just for the sellers to make money?

Can I use my polymer tools I already have?

That is all I can think of at the moment. To be honest I know nothing of metal yet so don't even know where to start! Very overwhelming!

Ok, that is all that is on my mind tonight :)

How fun is this!?!

Ok not much to tell just have been doing lots and lots of work. Loving it! I have a drawing on my Facebook page for people who like and share it. Free men's/women's wrap bracelet! Look and like my fb page to see which ones
