Last time I forgot to photo how the bronzclay comes from the kiln - it's very interesting looking. I was struck at how variable the colors are. The bracelet links are similar, while the earring blocks are way different. I wonder if it is because I handled the spiral links a lot more ... adding the hinge pie
ces, filing edges for bracelet, while the other two pieces I mostly left alone. Hmmmm.
I used the following firing schedule:
Ramp the kiln at 25o per hour, to 1490 degrees, then hold for 2 hours. Fired in a stainless container, with coconut shell as the activated material. Let cool in the kiln overnight, then removed.
