PLEASE DO NOT COPY MY DESIGNS TO SELL. or bad karma forever. simplifying and making the process of art clay silver less daunting! i have been working with this medium for over a year now, and have crafted my own unique "married to the mountains" and "married to the sea" collections. it is my goal to get you comfier and more acquainted with a medium full of lovely possibility and opportunity. disclaimer -- i am not an expert in polishing and know the way i showed is a little... weird. :) i'll be upgrading materials as i use up the ones i have.

AND VICE VERSA. again, what matters, is the appropriate amount of reinforcement. thicken your ring bands, you won't really feel it, trust me. love you!
