PMC Guild Annual - Exceptional Work in Precious Metal Clay: 2007 edited by Jeanette Landenwitch. This book contains work by 57 artists in PMC. I am thrilled to have 4 pieces included, one of which is featured on the back cover!
Enameling on Metal Clay by Pam East was recently published. I'm very pleased have two pieces represented in the gallery section. Pam has done a great job of demystifying enameling on metal clay and as a bonus, many metal clay basics are covered as well.
New Directions in Metal Clay by CeCe Wire is a great addition to any metal clay library, loaded with good info and projects, and I'm thrilled to have 3 images of my work in there too!
PMC Decade by Tim McCreight is out in print. I'm happy to have two pieces represented in this wonderful retrospective book of the past Decade in Precious Metal Clay.
Studio PMC - My article on the "Art of Teaching" appeared in the Spring 2007 Issue.
Art Jewelry Magazine
The September '06 issue of Art Jewelry included my article "Water Works" describing the technique of Water Etching on Metal Clay. There are a couple of clarifications to note... sometimes things are edited in ways that change the meaning. The term leather-hard was used in the construction step, which may not be sufficiently dry for sanding. In addition, the piece should be completely (bone) dry before drawing with your pencil or painting wax resist onto the clay. Drawing on leather-hard clay, (even lightly) may dent or scratch the surface. Painting wax on damp clay would extend drying time.
In the resources section, please note that my preferred wax resist is actually the Mayco brand, available from www.wholelottawhimsy.com
The May issue has my enamel pendant from the Fossil Series "Chambered Glass" in the gallery section.
The November issue has my enamel ring "Beneath the Blue" in the gallery section.
