I have less pastry moments with pmc...
That is one of the reasons I prefer pmc to art clay silver. I have had less 'pastry' moments with pmc!! It is such a frustrating material all round...but I can't give it up! It encompasses everything I enjoy. I would love to have been a ceramicist but I haven't the room or the money to set up a ceramics studio....and I would have had to sell body parts to buy a kiln! But then I discovered pmc and thought I could mix my love of sculpting (and sugar flower making) with making silver jewellery...I would be in heaven!!! Hmmmmm.
I can't yet afford to risk large pieces of pmc so I have started small - making charm-like things from my own moulds - but even with that I get the front looking OK but the backside always looks naff... but then I can't afford to spend hours on the backs of little charms!... and I'm almost too embarassed to think of selling them! But I have to get some money back to buy more...
It's another £$**&^ addiction isn't it!! :'(
