Remember the dull beige PMC pendants I showed you a couple of days ago? Yes, these pieces:
I promised that in a couple of days, you'd see them fired and polished.
Through the fire, and massaged by brush and burnisher, they transform into beautiful Silver Mermaids and Lovers. 99.9% Silver, also called Fine Silver, which does not tarnish, and neither moth nor dust can corrupt.
Now I am going to bed. I spent three nights up till 3 am making porcelain and PMC buttons and pendants. The firing was very successful, and I am exhausted. This weekend we do the Long Dance, then I start over for three more intense days of creating before a road trip to visit family down South. Zoned in the Zone! I love it.
Oh! Those are so beautiful!

thanks for your visit and comment. Your work is wonderful and I don't get at all the process of how you make these, but they are fabulous.

Oh brave soul - PMC is wonderful but so tedious to work with (I tried it once and then quit - of course mine looked nothing like lovely yours). I hope you are very pleased with these - I certainly would be if I were the creator! Don't forget to give yourself time to rest - or maybe it's just the Universe and all of us creatives are working overtime right now! Joyful creating to you!

I agree Tammy, PMC was a shock to my system. I am finding a way to work with it, and it is totally unlike the way I work with porcelain. Curiosity drives me forward with PMC!!!
