Kay Lodahl Glass Art and Watercolor Painting

I have discovered a new art form, bronze metal clay. Not that it will replace anything I already do. I just add this to my repetoire of crafts... Finding my daily activites are surrounded by equine characters be they live or crafts... Part of the healing I suppose. A sweet 12 year old neighbor girl was coming over to learn how to care and ride. Weebit was so dependable. She had made a ceramic horse with the colors of Weebit. Brought a tear to my eye. Anyway, this is the pendant I just put on my Etsy site.

Not only is Silver Clay on my list of todos but now I am into Bronze Clay. This new art form is less spendy than the Silver clay but not so if you don't already have a kiln. It has to be fired up to 1500 degrees or so to set up or "sinter" which is the proper term. And it takes about three to six hours. But the cost of the clay is much more affordable. Two websites I favor for information on bronze clay is www.wholelottawhimsey.com and www.cooltools.us Here is a picture of my first pieces. I was looking for more rainbow colored effects. My friend, Janelle Zorko, made these in the second picture.
