Wanted to share a few sane moments from my studio. Making silver jewelry from clay is truly a labor of love. Each piece begins as a
small lump of clay. The clay is composed of silver shavings in a clay base. I form the clay design, add jewels or sterling components, fire the piece in a kiln, where the clay burns off, leaving the silver. I polish, buff, and shine...then, wa-la like magic I have this solid, silver creation! The end product is such a delight! I'm always stunned and elated that such a beautiful, shiny thing can come from such humble beginnings.And the best part, the final silver piece is a "forever" treasure. Composed of 99.9% silver, each piece can be handed down for generations to come. They truly are heirloom pieces. You will find several examples on our "Items for Sale" pages. I also have a few pieces in my Etsy shop at: lyndacadejewelry.etsy.com
The best thing about making silver jewelry from clay... it is truly therapy for a crazy world.
Warmest regards,
Lynda

You are one busy lady and a very talented one! I love your creations. Especially the purses.

Hello there!
I am so enchanted by your blog, and I am so glad that you have visited me again! Thank you, thank you for allowing me to come into your world! I love how you open up and tell me about your day and the "stolen moments" in your studio; here, here! I am married to a wonderful man, no children, but I have to steal away the early morning to have time to gather my creative thoughts before my precious gets up and starts the world spinning!!! I see you have horses! YEAH! I am a city girl, but I just love those equines. Kelly from Tea Cups and Ponies is an awesome horsewoman and her pics are just marvelous of her broad of horses. I love your header; I am a crown freak and your lovely vintage goodies just hit the spot!
Please come back again soon!
