In the past I have made links with pmc decorations which have worked well as components that can be used in bracelets, necklaces and earrings
- so these were just Christmas theme ideas but it gave me the opportunity to play with the Argentium wire and pmc conbination as well.
Ironically - it is the holly one that I think has the most going for it so I will have to try modifying it a bit to make it less vulnerable...or alternatively - I could just make it with fine silver wire and not have all this stress!!
I was mortified with the amount of black oxide that was on the Argentium after the first kiln firing...I'm wondering if I need to fire it with the door ajar to allow more oxygen into the kiln so that it might encourage the germanium in the metal to bond with it and create the tarnish protection layer more effectively...
I just wish I knew more/understood more about this crazy metal!!
