Paper Clay

Metal clay comes in paper form too.  One brand is more like a piece of leather, while the other brand is more like a sheet of silver.  I think it originally was created to be used in Origami but has since been used other ways.  I've done Origami but not with the clay.     

So far I've used it with paper punches like scrap bookers use.  It can be layered to make thicker pieces that provide a more definite relief.  The paper pieces are pasted onto the metal clay piece using metal clay paste.   Even the scraps left from the paper punch is usable.  I use it to create what I call my "Negative Space" pieces.   The following ring is made using the paper punch and the pendants were made using the scraps that were left from various projects.
