My mother passed away recently and I wanted a way to immortalize her touch. Being a crafty person, I figured I could probably make on of these myself and save about $200 rather than ordering one online. And it worked!The clay is extremely easy to work with. When you’re making smaller items it can be quick to dry out, but just a little bit of water will make it workable again. If it sticks to your fingers while working it, just put some olive oil on a paper towel and then dampen your fingers in it. This is how we were able to get my mother’s finger prints into the clay. Once it’s dry (I put all of mine in the oven at 300 for about 10 minutes after they air dried for about an hour) you can use a BUTANE torch about 3 inches away from it to fire them if you don’t have a kiln. I watched a few tutorials on YouTube and picked up on it quick! Then I just dipped them in some liver of sulfer to oxidize the silver, then buffed them with a dremel! They turned out perfect! With 2 of the 20 gram packs you can make about 4 or 5 this size!
