How to Make a Simple PMC Pendant

I have just completed an article called How to Make a Simple Pendant from Precious Metal Clay for anyone who is just starting with PMC, or would like a step by step guide.

Take a look and if you have any questions feel free to leave them in the comment section of the article so that everyone can read the answers. I am planning to come out with an ebook early in 2010 which will be very affordable. I am hoping to sell it for about $5.00 just to pay for my time so that anyone can afford it. It will be instructions for anyone starting out with PMC, so that they can go it on their own.

If you are looking for a gift to give a PMC enthusiast for under $20, I recommend any of the following items:


These are all great gifts that any PMC enthusiast can never use enough of, and they are very inexpensive. Amazon Prime members get free 2 day shipping, and if you are not an Amazon Prime member, you probably still have time to get these items if you have them shipped ground.

Starting Your Precious Metal Clay Library

If you are just starting your Precious Metal Clay reference library, or you want to give a good gift to someone that you know who is a PMC artist, my favorite book for new PMC artists is still Working with Precious Metal Clay by PMC Master Tim McCreight.

This is not the newest book on the market, but it is still an excellent resource by someone who pioneered the use of Precious Metal Clay. It is available in hardcover or paperback, although if you are going to use it a lot, the hardcover will hold up better. The link that I have provided above is for the hardcover version, but you can click through to the paperback or spiral version.

This book is a good choice because the explanations are excellent with lots of pictures to help you understand, and Tim McCreight goes over the basics as well as provides projects that anyone can do and feel good about. Here is a sample page from the book.
