To celebrate the EtsyTwitter Team's Go Green event, I want to share a few items from my shop that are made from recycled silver. (To see them all, click here.)
Precious Metal Clay (PMC) is actually a recycled product. During photo processing, silver is recovered. That silver is mixed in with a binder making a clay-like material that can be worked, rolled, formed, stamped, etc. and then fired to create beautiful, fine silver pieces.
I love working with PMC. I feel like I'm playing with Play-Doh! Expensive Play-Doh, but still fun. During firing, the binders burn away and what's left is a fine silver (99.9%) piece of art...hopefully!
Be sure to check out other items made by the EtsyTwitter Team that are green and stay up to date with out event, including giveaways at our team blog, http://etsytwitter.blogspot.com
Sandy, thanks for sharing the ETT team links. That looks so fun working with the PMC.
