Art Clay

[n0-one.livejournal.com]

Has anyone ever tried the Silver Art Clay? I got a 20g pouch of it, and I finally have everything I need to start working except the stove top netting. FMG doesn't sell it, and the Art Clay website does... but they want me to pay like $17 S&H for a $4 item! Blech!

Anyways,
What can you tell me about the clay? Can I bake it in my oven? Can I use screen instead the special netting? And lastly. I want to make a ring, what can I use to shape the ring if I don't have a mandrel?

Thanks!
