I'd been meaning to add wires and threads ever since I started making hole in the clay....but this is only the first of three that I have made so far...I'm hoping to make some jewelry along the same lines.

I think that would be a terrific idea. With your mastery of clay and access to a kiln you'd probably have a blast with Silver Clay...

I've never heard of silver clay... I'm using porcelain at the moment.

It's a mix of very, very fine paper mache and pure silver powder that can be worked wet like clay or sculpted and filed dry, too. When fired in a kiln the paper burns away, the object shrinks by 10% and you are left with 999 fine pure silver. Just google "Precious Metal Clay" or "Silver Art Clay".

Thanks, maybe I should try to make some jewelry along this line... I hadn't really thought about it before, I'm not really a jewelery wearer.

And I sort of get to keep this as my Mum has it!
