This is it! The final bronze ammonite pocket watch fob is completed!
Phew!
I am incredibly relieved it is finished. Bronze clay is very strange stuff. It's slightly springy and it would have been incredibly useful if there were better instructions on the packet.
For my advice, watch plenty of video's on Youtube about using metal clay. Cleaning can be difficult if you don't have the proper pickling solution (dilute sulphuric acid usually) but I managed with white vinegar and salt (again, there are video's of that online). It is definitely one of those 'practise makes perfect' techniques and I'm only glad my first use of metal clay wasn't in silver!
