Hello, I am hoping to pick some brains here, regarding using silicone moulds with silver clay. I made a mould of a strawberry to make a pendant - it worked, though I ended up using more silver than I had intended. Now I have been asked to make two more as bridesmaid presents but have come over all ham fisted when trying to get the silver clay smoothly into and out of the moulds - the resulting 'strawberries' come out a little too freeform! Should I be using a lump and smoothing it in (this is what I used on my first one, but I am suspecting it was a sad case of beginners luck) or should I go for a fairly thick wee sheet and sort of roll/ease it in and out?
I just seem to be making a right hash of it and have retired to a contemplative G&T; not the ideal answer but I am just getting scunnered!
Hope someone can help me
