Silver PMC clay advice- Fingerprints
Hello! Ive joined the forum to get some info on this one project Im doing with Pmc3. My mother is dying and we have always done art and crafts together, in fact she purchased the clay herself to try but never got around to it. So I want to make some fingerprint pendants for us kids. I attempted it a few days ago but the fingerprint was basically invisible- there was only the finger indentation. Truth be told her fingerprints are on the faint side as it is... is this a typical problem? I was wondering if the clay is too dry- will I get a better fingerprint if its softer? Any suggestions? I may only have a few weeks left and I know I could send her fingerprint off for someone else to make them, but for the sentimental reasons I stated above, I would at least like to give it a decent shot myself. Thank you so much for any input offered!
