Wine and Tater Tots!

Tell you all what, I ADMIRE folks that can successfully work with metal clay. MAN.....I consider myself a good artist when it comes to creating pieces but creating it from metal clay....not so much. First off the clay I am working with is a small fortune, being that it is pure silver even more so than sterling silver. Secondly, it dries out VERY quickly and it hard to "revive" once it starts to do so. I worked on several pieces last night and was tempted to down a bottle of wine by the time I was at a stopping point at 11:00 at night. The pieces were halfway finished and I had to call it a night. I think I like the satisfaction of getting something FINISHED and when I don't do that I get anxious, I never could do scrapbooking for this very reason, LOL! Please know that I realize there is a learning curve and I need to be patient (not something that I am good at) but I HOPE to stick this out and create some really fun, custom pieces for you all soon. Again, hats off to those of you that work your magic with this clay and create masterpieces, I just hope to make some pieces that resemble more than tater tots!
