The ceramic sha...Hi Judy,<BR/> Nice to hear from you. The ceramic shard pendant you were pointing out was made with metal clay, bezel and all. Creating the bezel for this piece was pretty time consuming. Metal clay is a fairly new medium and so fun to work with. I teach classes in metal clay if you ever want to take one. There is an Intro class this Saturday and one Nov. 1.<BR/><BR/> I've never cut and bent old silver forks and spoons but I have seen them. We have a traditional jeweler in our building. Maybe she would know something about that.<BR/><BR/> About your ceramic pieces. Maybe your best bet would be to wire wrap them. I do very little wire wrapping, only enough to connect my metal clay pieces. Check out some books or magazines on wire wrapping. That might help.<BR/><BR/> Sorry I wasn't much help to you.

I was wondering if you have the ability to cut and bend old silver forks an spoons, as if you were going to make a ring or other type of jewelry with them. I am a felloe crafter, and really enjoyed seeing your jewelry, especialy the beach pendant.I have some odd pieces of ceramic, from old mugs and was interested in creating some jewelry pieces with them.Any suggestions you could offer would be appreciated.
