If you rub the clay with cornstarch before baking you can get it nice and smooth, with a matte finish. You lucky girl to have been at the Bead and Button show. I would love to attend one of those!

Saw a technique that was awesome, wonder if you know how she did it. She had a flat sheet(flowers, leaves..), sliced into a thin oval pendant,earrings, baked on a curved base to make it slightly domed, but the finish was matte, is was incredible, said she did it with cornstarch after baking, any ideas how?? Thanks! Love you're site! Pam Hi Cindy, I went to the Bead and Button Show in Milwaukee, had a blast. Saw a technique that was awesome, wonder if you know how she did it.

I haven't tried it myself but I can't imagine it not working as long as the temperature is right. You'll just have to try it to find out. Let us know how it works. You got me curious!

I bought one at a yard sale cheap but don't know if there is a big difference between that type of oven and a regular electric one. Thanks! Joan Cindy,

Several materials, wen heated, leach toxic fumes strong enough to kill small animals (I am a biologist - I am not making this up, nor is it one of the internet rumors). I wold suggest running a quinck search on the safety of heating whatever item it is you want to use before I put it in the oven. Thanks for you helpful tips and ideas!
