and\/or carve designs in it, just like modeling clay or FIMO.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Here are some of Pat&#8217;s pieces she was creating in

style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>After you are done sculpting and the clay has dried, you can clean up any rough edges on the pieces, and the put them in the kiln and fire them.\u00a0 Two hours later, presto you have a metal pendant.\u00a0 In this case we used Silver Clay and it comes out .999 Silver, better than Sterling Silver.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align:
