Bill Struve, the inventor of BronzClay, has fashioned a copper clay variant. Last year I had really wanted Bill to include me as one of his beta testers. As it turned out, I was not chosen. But I am finding that I am not minding this. Although I really enjoy metal clay, and although I will be one of the first to admit that some wonderful things can be created with it and that in many instances it can minimize the work needed to fabricate an item, there is something really fantastic about holding a hammer and torch in my hands. I do plan to play with the copper clay when it becomes commercially available later this year. And I plan to continue playing with my BronzClay and Silver Clay. But I also plan to continue to increase my traditional fabrication skills because I am, at heart, a free spirit and I will use whatever media will allow me to succeed at my project in the best fashion. 
Today I will work on making color strips for my enamel colors. I want to continue with my project for Beading For A Cure and some enamel pieces are a part of my vision for the end product. Therefore, I need to make sure that the colors I purchased will actually work with my beads. Here is another Beading for a Cure auction item for you to look at. Be sure to check out our weekly auctions on eBay and bid. I have already been out-bid on several items . Think creatively!
