Working with silver is fairly new to me, so I was pretty nervous walking into my PMC course today. I've never worked with precious metal clay and I wasn't sure how my mind would deal with an unfamiliar medium. It doesn't help that PMC is really expensive, so any mistakes would be costly.
Failure was not an option...no pressure though.
After an hour and half of working with sculpey clay, I finally came up with a design that I loved enough to open my meager 20g bag of PMC. Here's what I came up with.

The large piece is going to hang on a necklace. The smaller leaves that were removed from the larger piece will become earrings. The lily shaped piece will get sanded down and soldered to a ring setting. I might set a small pearl or something similar into the center of it as well.
All in all, not bad in my opinion. I'm a long way from my own jewelry line, but at least my creative mind is starting to think in silver. Today really opened up my eyes to the beautiful possibilities.
