This Guy is Sort of Talented...

I nearly fell out of my chair when I saw the cover of the latest issue of Art Jewelry Magazine. The cover-shot is of metal clay work by Gordon Uyehara, an uber-talented artist that has taken PMC to a whole new stratosphere. UNBELIEVABLE. I've been on the edge of actually attempting to work with metal clay for years. Frankly, I'm intimidated. BUT, seeing Gordon's work is so inspiring I just might finally take the plunge. Anyone interested in PMC must get this issue of AJM. Metal clay has come leaps and bounds since it's inception. Now you can choose from silver, gold, brass, and the soon-to-be-available COPPER metal clays. How cool is that??? Also, this issue has some great profiles and information about working "green", which is, of course, close to my heart. For more information visit AJM's website. Also, you can visit Cool Tools, my new favorite product/tool supply website, for metal clay, and much, much more.

I had given up on ever seeing anything good made out of pmc until I found Gordon's website a couple years ago. He IS amazing and I so want to go to Hawaii to take his class for certification senior level. But he'll be in Illinois teaching a seminar with Louise Duhamel (sp) this summer. Sadly I can't afford to go. Gordon, you need to come to Seattle!!!!
