  New PMC designs! In the mid '90s when PMC or Precious Metal Clay started to become popular I played around with it some but at the time I was so deeply rooted learning traditional jewelry techniques such as casting and fabrication that I just did not really take the time to experiment with it as much as I would like! So I am taking this year to really play with it and have a bunch of new design ideas in the works! Here are just a couple I have so far! PMC is a really fun and versatile material I can not wait to see what happens!!! If you are not familiar with PMC it is pure silver particles mixed with an organic binder that produces a clay-like substance. Once the piece is created, it's fired in a kiln at 1650 degrees for two hours. The binder burns off and the particles fuse into solid, pure silver. Both the clay and the resulting silver piece are non-toxic.   PMC was developed in the early 1990s in Japan by metallurgist Masaki Morikawa....gotta love him and Japan for this great invention!  On that note in order to help Japan in their recent string of natural disasters I will be donating some of my jewelry pieces as raffle items for a Dallas Vegan Bake Sale whose proceeds are going to Japan relief! (Note:You will have to attend the event to see which jewelry items are up for bids!!!) See details for the event below!   This year’s bake sale is run in coordination with the Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale, an event occurring – well – worldwide to raise funds for causes of the local event’s choice. With the recent unfortunate tragedy in Japan, Jade has designated the Dallas Vegan Bake Sale to benefit Direct Relief International, an organization praised by Forbes magazine as being “100% efficient” with a proven track record in providing support for those in need. The bake sale will take place on the patio at Beauty Bar Dallas(click on the logo for directions and info) in the popular Henderson Avenue area, and is sure to attract hungry buyers from all over.
