Welcome Everyone

I post a lot about my projects on Facebook. One night I went posting crazy and one of my friends told me I need a blog. I started posting my projects on my own web page, www.jessicaryanphotography.com, but I decided I need a real blog where people can leave comments. So, here I am.

Right now I'm waiting for my most recent metal clay project to cool down enough in the kiln so I can pull it out and look at it. I sure hope it looks good so I can wear it to work tomorrow.

The project is a pendant made of three disks. One side of each disk is made of steel metal clay and the other side of each disk is made of copper metal clay.

I fired the steel metal clay first. (It was my first time playing with steel metal clay.) Then I fired the copper metal clay. The copper shrank way more than I thought it would. Therefore, the two sides of the disks didn't match up in size. I had to resort to Plan B. Hopefully it works.

In addition, this project is my first time combining two different types of metal clay in one project.
