I used low-fire metal clay to make these link components, but you can use any type of metal clay. You'll just need to fire accordingly if you use something other than low-fire. This is a very good project for anyone who is just learning to work with metal clay.
You'll need:
*Low-fire silver metal clay (about a dime-sized piece)
15mm metal round cutter
5mm round cutter
Olive oil
6 playing cards
Misc. metal clay hand tools such as a roller and work surface
Hot pot or butane torch
Jar of water
Metal tongs
Jeweler's files
Burnishing brush
Anvil and ball peen hammer
*You can use either PMC3 or Art Clay 650 for this project. Other types of clay will work too, but more than likely the other clays (depending on what you use) will require you to use a kiln to fire them in.
