Another trip to hatton garden saw me buying some Art clay silver paper type. Not used paper type before but i've read as much as i can. After purchasing it i was a little shocked to find just how thin it is, 0.25mm YIKES. Am going to try using it to make earrings to match the 'IMPERFECT' squares pendant. With it being so thin i'm going to have to double it up as i've been told it shrinks more than the lump type. Of course all this hassle could prove fruitless as it's ment to be kiln fired. I have a feeling it's due to the nature of the product, with it being very much like paper direct flame could well simply burn it, so i may well try a gentle flame and not directly on it until the binder has burnt away. Hoping this works, whatever happens i'll post pictures of the results.
Am also hoping to use some of the paper type for a bracelet for me :D. Like an idea style bracelet with my initials. Not sure yet whether to design it with one 'plate' for the initials or 3 individual 'plates'. Most likely with be individual style as i dont want a standard rectangle and cant quite design anything i like for a single style.
So hopefully tomorrow i'll get at least one of these pieces sorted.
