Bracelet Bangle

can a bangle bracelet be made from pmc?

or will it be too delicate?

if so, any tips on how to do it and make it stronger?

I guess you could but it would be *very* expensive to use up that much metal clay!

You could use some kind of metal inside as an armature, I guess, both to make it stronger if necessary and to save on clay. Don't know how that would be affected by the shrinkage of metal clays though.

Check out some of these sites to get more info:

...PMC Guild (online?) has a message board: http://www.pmclay.com/ or http://pmcguild.com/
...Bead and Button has a message board for metal clays

http://www.beadandbutton.com/bnb/community/forum/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=21

..several "mailing lists" for PMC enthusiasts at yahoogroups
.....(go to http://www.yahoogroups.com, then enter Precious Metal Clay in the Search window)
........Precious_Metal_Clay_IL-WI is one ... there are couple of others as well
...... ISMCA (International Society of Metal Clay) is another http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ISMCA/ . Lori

(few more sites, and more info on this page at my site:

...click on the category *Metal Clays* at the bottom of the list...)

You could instead make a bangle bracelet from polymer clay, then color it silver using a real metal powder such as Mona Lisa or Eberhard Faber, or using "composition" metal leaf in a silver color, or using mica-based powders like Pearl Ex or using metallic acrylic paints for a more pearly verison of silver.

There's more info on making bracelets from polymer clay, and on using real metallic powders and leaf, and mica-based powders, and metallic acrylic paints (and also metallic waxes like Gilder's Paste) on these pages at my site:
