We really enjoyed spending time with you, John and Harold! This years trip to California was brilliant, we didn't want to leave, but making jewelry was a great way to finish off an amazing three weeks.<br />Thank you again and we hope to see you next year, all our love Eve, Phoebe and the family!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7398290176193871172.post-21464427813914884912012-09-19T08:56:07.692-07:002012-09-19T08:56:07.692-07:00testing commentstesting commentsRuthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17269757994922547223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7398290176193871172.post-7521196802508921782012-08-21T03:51:10.291-07:002012-08-21T03:51:10.291-07:00i Like your innovative design and creativity i Like your innovative design and creativity Sud Rajhttp://www.tresorparis.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7398290176193871172.post-17051442889663098962012-07-06T20:29:15.780-07:002012-07-06T20:29:15.780-07:00thank you for posting your experiences! i'm ab...thank you for posting your experiences! i'm about to try FFbronze and really appreciate these little details :)kimhttp://www.kimberlynogueira.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7398290176193871172.post-18891951611537908462012-06-10T13:23:07.477-07:002012-06-10T13:23:07.477-07:00How fabulous!

A more popular version is Bronzclay which seems more reliable and will probably give you what you want. If you search for that, you will find some info on firing and where to buy. Good luck with it.<br />RuthRuthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17269757994922547223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7398290176193871172.post-18539922578599568862012-05-24T08:22:38.665-07:002012-05-24T08:22:38.665-07:00I make miniature furniture (www.chrismalcomsonmini...I make miniature furniture (www.chrismalcomsonminiatures.com) and bought a mini kiln to make bronze mounts for my work.

The colour I want is bronze and clearly solid bronze wouldn't snap so readily.. <br /> Possibly a longer than recommended firing time and activated carbon?<br /> Any advice would be much appreciated.www.chrismalcomsonminiatures.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7398290176193871172.post-33595234322590111422012-05-21T14:36:53.573-07:002012-05-21T14:36:53.573-07:00I had a few in 2009.
