Sterling silver clay

These are just a few of my new PMC charm necklaces. The whale was a antique leather button which i made a mold from. The compass was a wax seal and the anchor was an antique button that I used as a impression. This is first time that I have tried out the new Sterling silver PMC clay.

The pro's are that people understand what .925 is about. It is harder than fine silver. It has a hint of a golden color to it, because they add bronze clay to the fine silver. The con's are that you have to fire in the kiln twice. Which in my case take a long while.

I also tried copper clay which was a lot of fun. Because it's so reasonable I can make  much larger pieces.

Are you ready for the summer?

I have been busy getting everything ready for this summer farmers and artisans market. Trying to learn to take better photos of my jewelry for etsy and adds. Louise Martling  and I having been working on a new logo and advertising for my business. Looking forward to a fresh start.  file://localhost/Users/priscillamcintosh/Dropbox/PMcIntosh_SNFarmersMktAd.pdf

The Christmas spirit

Had a our Annual Nantucket Christmas Stroll Craft show. This past weekend. The weather could not have been better. People were in good spirits. I just like to people watch and the crazy outfits and head dresses ( santa hats, antlers and misseltoe head bands) to name a few. But the best was my husband Jim McIntosh,dress up in his german Lederhosen. He had a blast running around town and had his picture taken with everyone on main street.

Thankful

I'm thankful for so many things.

trying to blog

This is my first blog. So here it goes.
Tonight I went to Petticoat row meeting, it was all about social media.
It was very interesting. So I thought I would give it a try.
I have following my cousin blog for several years now. ( The Mommy Rant)
I love seeing what she has posted for day. It really helps me stay connected
with her and her family. I love her sense of humor.
