With things still not back to normal on TV with the writer’s strike (Bones is only 15 episodes this season) and everything (Bones & NCIS anyway) ending next week, I was looking to new things to watch. IRC people kept on at me so a couple of weeks ago I gave in and started watching [...]

More Alchemy!
Today I took my silver pendant and tarnished it in some Liver of Sulphur (oh my god that stuff smells BAD… for AGES), then I re-polished it so that the highlights were nice and shiny and the pattern shows up a little more. This is just after tarnishing and after polishing:

Alchemy! (I made some silver)
After pondering for ages on exactly what PMC I was going to purchase I finally bought some a couple of weeks ago and had to wait until yesterday for it to arrive. I moulded a small piece last night, let it dry overnight and sanded off the rough edges this morning. I just fired it [...]
