Clay!

I have spent today working with clay.  A good chunk of today has been spent figuring out how to rehydrate PMC3 silver clay. My mom gave me her collection of dried out silver clay and I want to salvage it to try using it for at least part of my IP. I have it soaking with water in the packages trying to see what happens, I am just leaving them for now. I also brought a large collection of polymer clay back with me from my mom's house. I don't know if I really want to use it in the long run, but I tried a few things with it. I didn't like anything. I'll see if I have better luck on Monday.

Also, I am toying with making prong settings out of tube. Here are two pictures of one I attempted today.
