More Clay Work in Progress...

I'm working on a batch of bronze metal clay at the moment...lots and lots of teeny seashells to have on hand and to include in my "Tide Pool" beading kits.  This happens to be the original formula of BronzClay so I know it will shrink about 25%.  I'm also making some clasps, charms, and bezeled pieces that I'll be able to fill with polymer clay or resin.   I really enjoy working with polymer and metal clays, and what makes the process even more fun is having great tools with which to work.  In the forefront of this photo are some of my favorites...encased in textured polymer clay.  They make it so much easier to spot the tool I'm looking for!
