It's March again, and mother’s day will soon be here. What will you give your Mum this year? Flowers, chocolates, will you take her out for a mother’s day meal? These are the first usual thoughts for a mother’s day gift, but what if you thought about the unusual? What might you think of then? Women, being emotional sentimental creatures, adore being given jewellery for special occasions. So an ideal mothers day present could be an item of jewellery. An individual and unique item of jewellery to mirror the special and unique, beautiful qualities of your mum. Sounds expensive doesn't it? But actually it isn't very expensive at all. A product has been developed in America that combines an organic binder with precious metal (gold or silver). It is called metal clay. As its name suggests metal clay has similar properties to clay, so it can be moulded, shaped, modelled and textured like clay. Enabling the creator to design for example a beautiful and unique pendant. Once the pendant is created it has to be left to dry before firing. The firing process can be done using a gas blowtorch or a gas hob. No need to buy an expensive kiln. Once the organic binder has been burnt away you are left with a silver or gold pendant which is unique. The ideal mothers day gift. If you feel that you are not creative enough to produce such a gift metal clay is available in gift boxes with all that is needed to make a stunning piece of jewellery. Such an unusual gift will be remembered for a long time and the item of jewellery will serve as a reminder of a thoughtful and unusual mothering Sunday. Get yourself a starter kit and roll up your sleeves.
