  • Re: Attaching fired pmc3 pieces to one another

I've had success with all three methods but am now exclusively using lavender oil paste. I don't know why it works, but it does. The formula is...

  • Re: Wings of Flight

    Alice and Beadme, Thanks for your encouraging words. I do love to work with Metal Clay and the titanium is very inspiring.
