This first one is Ruby in Fuchia and was supposed to go into a lapel pin for a co workers wife. I want to use PMC so I went to my sisters; she and I worked together on Sunday doing some PMC. She has the full set up for it. Long story short the cab with my idea for the pin got really big; so I need to cab a smaller version.  Next a RSJ. I got a great shine on this one, best to date. I am going to get some 100,000 diamond paste and see what happens.  Another RSJ this was the next slab cab from a prior post. two views   Thank you for looking |

Cool color combo in the top one, cool pattern on the bottom one!  I want to see more of what this PMC stuff can do so feel free to post the results of that effort.  |

Thank you for nice comments everyone Here is what I did with the PMC (precious metal clay). I put black marker were the cab will go on the one. The others; I had extra clay so I did them up. I'm thinking a heart shaped cab on the heart the other I'm not sure    They have only been burnished in a vib with steel shot; so they need to be polished to bring out the shiny sterling. |

Nice scene in the second RSJ, Larry, but I like the first one best.
Sometimes a picture ain't worth a thousand words, at least to a pmc dummy - what's with the pattern on the pmc?

The way I learned to do PMC is to roll it out; apply a texture (the hearts and leafs are raised up its a texture pattern); then take the clay and do with it what you want. You can just shaped the outer edge (like I did) I did one free had with and exacto knife; one free hand with scissors (kind that makes a fancy edge, I backed the clay with a heavy plastic transparency sheet to support it; the other I cut a template with the scissors and then put it over the clay and cut with an exacto knife. You could roll the texture clay around a tube to make a hollow textured silver tube; shape it with your hands. Pretty much anything you could do with pottery clay or playdoh you can do with PMC. I have seen some really cool applications. I haven't used it to much. To many rocks to cab |
