Day 20,309
Still working on a background for Mr. Slimy here. Doing a little art tonight in a medium new to me, metal clay. I’ll share the results later, but I think it will be a good time! I printed out some pattern tools to try, and I may see if I can find any resin molds that I might want to try.
From – https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_clay
Metal clay is a crafting medium consisting of very small particles of metal, such as silver, gold, bronze, or copper, mixed with an organic binder and water for use in making jewelry, beads, and small sculptures. Originating in Japan in 1990, metal clay can be shaped just like any soft clay, by hand, or using molds. After drying, the clay can be fired in various ways, such as in a kiln, with a handheld gas torch, or on a gas stove, depending on the type of clay and the metal in it. The binder burns away, leaving the pure sintered metal. Shrinkage of between 8% and 30% occurs (depending on the product used). Alloys such as bronze, sterling silver, and steel are also available.
