Well, I've been working on a few items I thought my wife might like for Christmas and planned on wrapping them and hiding them around the house, but her company Xmas party is next week and after I saw what she was wearing I had to break these out early for her. Again, my third attempt at PMC, getting slowly better. So PMC3 Silver pendant and matching earrings. Deep purple enamel baked on. Tiny faceted Amethyst on the pendant. Earlier I had made the bracelet, several of my favorite stones strung on stainless steel wire, with sterling silver clasps. My wife showed me this gorgeous deep purple skirt she had bought for the event, with subtle golden paisley designs stitched into it, and the color of this matched PERFECTLY! What are the odds. After seeing these, can anyone guess my favorite color? lol

WOW that is a stunning set, I have done a lot of PMC but have not tried the enamels, setting stones in it is sort of a challenge, wow this is just gorgeous, purple is my favorite color too! I would have been thrilled with that set! Stunning!

The stone is just glued in place, I sort of made a divet for it, and used that e6000 stuff to bond it. So far I'm having fun with just the pmc pot. One day I'll get the whole kiln and all. HEY, girl, you are the reason I started this so it's all your fault! hahahaha
