Playing around in the studio




Here are a few pics of a recent night of creating. I love when the ideas flow.... it was one of those nights... a great night. I even took out a few beads that I had been waiting over a year to use. I hope you enjoy.

Simply Charming

Playing with PMC has been so much fun. It is a joy to create pendants and charms that are pure Danielle .... pieces that are silver, beautiful, original and simply stated.




Here are a few more of my recent creations.....

Fun with Precious Metal Clay (PMC)


I am always getting asked... What is Precious Metal Clay?????

Precious Metal Clay (PMC) is basically a clay-like substance that when fired in a kiln or with a torch becomes dense like metal. Though most people (like me) use the fine silver form, metal clay is also available in copper, bronze and 22K gold.

I love playing around with this clay. Making charms for earrings, necklaces, well.... just about anything. Brings me back to my days of pottery in high school. But now I get to mix it in with my love of creating jewels.

Above are a pair of earring I created using PMC.
