I took a straw poll on Etsy forums to help me decide whether or not to oxidize this fine silver pendant. 20 grams of silver clay, so I was a-skeered to mess it up. I got lots of great ideas and tips - did you know you could refire your silver piece to burn off the oxidation if you don't like it? I didn't, until this helpful etsian let me know: http://beadinbythesea.etsy.com/.
Here are before and after shots of the same piece. The most wonderful colors came up when I painted on the liver of sulphur - gold, blue, red, purple; unfortunately, I could not permanently capture them all, although the front does have lots of blue.

Here are three new necklaces , just posted today in my Etsy shop http://janzio.etsy.com/. The Sparrow image is taken from a 1946 Audubon Field Guide.
The center pendant is a scene of a Japanese maple on the banks of a river. The third item is a custom necklace for a special customer.
