I was a little afraid of that being the case. I will do that. :) The thing I was trying to avoid was making sheet strips out of white bronze...not sure how successful I'd be with that. But for the other bronze and copper the sheet will work fine, I'm sure. Jennifer Thanks, Hadar. I was a little afraid of that being the case.

I would get a 26 gauge copper, brass, or rich low brass (looks like bronze), and cut it with regular scissors to make a bezel wire. Jennifer, Silver may react with the metal.

That's actually what I was referring to but neglected to explain. Could I make a bezel out of silver bezel wire and press it into bronze clay? If so, that would be great...sounds like it would be a close match! But what about making a bezel for an irregularly-shaped stone? That’s actually what I was referring to but neglected to explain.

If they are pressed deep enough they will be held in place by the shrinkage of the clay. Jennifer, you can set any kind of bezel cup in all the clays.

It looks just gorgeous! I do have a question: Have you any ideas re: what to use for a bezel with this medium? (or with the regular bronze too, for that matter). I have several stones I'd like to set, and wish there was some sort of bezel wire I could get to use with white bronze. I don't suppose nickle silver could be bonded to it in any way, could it? I just don't relish the idea of trying to make my own bezel wire. Any ideas? Hadar, I bought some of your white bronze, and I can’t wait to try it out!! It looks just gorgeous!

I would love to come back, but it's really up to the organizers. About the porcelain, I don't see why not. The sintering temperature is much lower than the porcelain's. Good luck! Hi Linda,

I have more ideas in my head than I know what to do with. Is there any visit to Australia planned for the future? I'd love to attend a workshop. Can any of your clays by fired with porcelain?

I can't wait until my kiln arrives! I feel like I did when I first started working with polymer-- couldn't find what I wanted so made my own. Now I can have the metal findings and pieces that I can't find/fabricate. Thanks! Hadar, this is the most exciting material yet! I can’t wait until my kiln arrives!

Two to three weeks ...awesome. I think the most exciting thing is that we can have a light colored metal that looks and behaves like silver but isn't expensive like silver. I am looking forward to being able to make much bigger objects without stressing out about the cost. Got a little over-zealous, like a puppy waiting for Scooby Snacks. Two to three weeks …awesome.
