Since the PMC is pure silver and I use fine silver wire with it, I've been sticking with the sterling or pure silver to keep things simpler. If ya'll have tried some be sure to let me know how you liked it.<BR/><BR/>I want to put more silver in the kiln today, it's such a fussy process getting it ready and you have to work SUPER fast to keep it from drying out too much.LLYYNN - Lynn Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11538418994323990630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212636362424974677.post-30810445706939922562008-10-17T00:38:00.000-05:002008-10-17T00:38:00.000-05:00These look so great!

(:<BR/><BR/>I'm a real fan of silver (I've never liked gold much up until recently, when I started using it with green stones), and it's been nice to finally learn more about it! I read somewhere that sterling silver was reliable for people with nickle allergies, but afterward I couldn't find that information again anywhere! It was pretty frustrating. I also had no idea that copper was a part of sterling!<BR/><BR/>Have you ever worked with argentium? If so, what are your thoughts on how it handles compared to sterling?Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00589086099217589255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212636362424974677.post-19354593887453773702008-10-15T06:48:00.000-05:002008-10-15T06:48:00.000-05:00Gaea, I wanted them to look like they were salvage...Gaea, I wanted them to look like they were salvaged from a shipwreck somewhere off the coast, like spanish dubloons or something. Thanks, so happy you like them. And the history of metals and civilization facinates me, we take so much for granted. Metal was a precious commodity at one time, rare and special and worked by hand.LLYYNN - Lynn Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11538418994323990630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212636362424974677.post-73845913812659710102008-10-13T12:42:00.000-05:002008-10-13T12:42:00.000-05:00These are FAB!
