Difference between Clay Type and Paste Type Art Clay Silver

Clay Type

The clay type silver metal clay can be used the same way as regular clay, modelling and sculpting your piece into an artistic shape.

Moisture is essential to keep the clay flexible and workable.

When the clay cracks while you work, use a brush or a wet cloth to moisten it.

Paste Type

By default, Paste carries more water than the clay type and has the consistency of melted ice cream. Only transfer the amount you need from the jar to a small tray, and use more water to make the thickness you desire.

You can use the silver paste in various ways:

• Join two pieces of dry or wet clay together.
• Filling gaps for pits and cracks in drying pieces.
• Attach silver findings (screw eyes, tailbacks, brooch findings, etc.) to dried or wet clay pieces. The normal contraction of the clay bonds the findings during the firing process.
• When applied in separate layers onto organic forms such as leaves, dried flowers, paper-origami, etc., Paste type creates a perfect impression of the form.

It is important to get the correct size for your bracelet.

The size I need is EXACT snug wrist size. The extra need for a comfortable fit will be added. This varies for each design depending on the leathers used, so wrist size is all we need. 

If you would like a half size and there is no option, you can state this in the instructions section.

Your bracelet will be made from top quality leathers and a very precious metal - pure silver!

Care should be taken of your item to ensure longevity of your special item . This will include:

• No contact with water
• Minimising chemical contact with the silver, including deodorants, after shaves and perfume, sun lotions etc.

This will prevent tarnishing.

Polishing cloths are included to help keep the silver clean and shining. These jewellery polishing cloths are readily available.
