Default PMC Bead Bail Tutorial

I wanted something a little more elegant than wire wrapping for some of my bead pendants. I've been working with PMC3 and finally came up with something I like, so I thought I'd share it.




The tutorial is at:

Thanks so much for posting the tutorial on PMC. I would really like to try it some day. I appreciate that you share your ideas.

I have a question though. What is slip? For us that are new and don't know.

Thanks,
another Deb in MN

Slip is clay that has been thinned out with water. You can buy it premade or make your own with left over bits of clay. It is used with PMC to join pieces together - like solder in traditional silversmithing.

Deb, I just looked at your tutorial on the PMC bail. My DW Judie is doing some PMC and I thought this would be a perfect addition for her in using my beads in her jewelry. Great Tut.


Thanks

Bob
