Treats! Treats! Treats! |
 |

PMC123 has long wished to send out a special treat every month. We want to provide our loyal clients with a project that’s new, has a different twist or is just a joy to complete. Sherry will write and illustrate two projects per month. One will be a completely free download. The second will be a project that is a bit meatier, more complex or more advanced. This second project will also be available for download at a very reasonable fee. |

Introducing... |
|
PMC123 released the first issue of this column in April 2007. The following people sent us their information so that we could exchange links on our respective websites. Do you teach metal clay classes or know of someone else who would benefit from having their website information announced in “The Latest and Greatest from PMC123”? Our call for information about those of you who teach metal clay classes continues.

1.5mm Stamping Set, Stone Setting Kit, 8" Tweezers, 7"
Tweezers, 20ct Stone Assortment
|
|
| |
1.5mm Stamping Set We found them again, at last. The 1/16” letter/number stamping set was so popular that we were more than disappointed when our source stopped making them. Since then we’ve hunted high and low and have found this 1.5mm, 36-pc letter/number (plus “&”) set. It comes in a wooden box with clasp closure and each slot is labeled. These are ever so slightly smaller than 1/16” (1/16” = 1.5875mm). So, here they are on special for June. Perfect!
Introductory priced at $10.95 (Offer good thru 30 Jun 09) Retail $12.95

Stone Setting Kit This kit contains 1/4 pound of investment for making models of your non-fireable gemstones, modeling clay, shaping platform, syringe for accurately measuring water, and complete directions on how to set gemstones that can't be fired. A must for holding those custom PMC settings open to receive your non-fireable stones and other objects! The silica-free red investment is an excellent choice for creating ring inserts, models for stones and for other materials that you want to set in silver clay but cannot be fired. It has the best shrinkage and expansion characteristics for working with metal clays, creates extremely accurate and detailed models, has 4-5 minutes working time, and dries quickly. Ideal for use with all firing methods. This investment contains no silica. This kit is a $26.00 value!
Introductory priced at $22.50 (Offer good thru 30 Jun 09) Retail $24.95

These 8” Tweezers are a fabulous value! We searched for tweezers that are a bit larger than the ones typically included in metal clay tool kits. Some of us just like the longer length for handling or faster finding! This pair is stainless steel, has knurled handles and bent tips with serrated jaws for sure gripping. (Limited quantity)
Sale priced at $3.50 (Offer good thru 30 Jun 09) Retail $5.95

Our 7” Tweezers are another great value. They are also stainless steel, but with smooth handles, bent tips and smooth jaws. The bent tips allow better visibility when setting stones or picking up small pieces. On special for June. (Limited quantity)
Sale priced at $3.50 (Offer good thru 30 Jun 09) Retail $5.95 |
