Bronzclay!

I finally busted open one of my packages of Bronzclay last night.  The clay reminds me of those little apple sauce and cinnamon 'dough' ornaments my mom used to make.  If only it smelled as good...

Everything smells like lavender in the apartment right now.   I read that lavender water helps inhibit oxidation.  I've found that the Bronzclay is awesome for getting strong, and clear impressions from moulds and stamps so far.  I'm drying a few flat pieces to try out carvings with later, and I can't wait to see how that goes.  I do have one piece that looks like it oxidized but I am not totally sure.  I'm really curious how enamels work and look on the bronze once it's fired.  Has anyone seen any examples yet?
