One of the classic colors I think, so it's a staple in most artist color palettes (and on the jeweler's bench!)Mariann Monikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11022511339650423532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229548249871443079.post-23706995391771071532011-07-28T17:14:09.045+10:002011-07-28T17:14:09.045+10:00This ring is gorgeous, Mariann!

Your work is pristine, flawless.<br /><br />And thank you for sharing your tips and process. Second to making jewelry, I love seeing how others work. Great tip for shaping the bezel to the ring curvature.<br /><br />When I read this post the other day, I didn't catch the fact that your yellow ochre is actually 'paint'. Mine is in powder form and sold as a anti-flow for soldering, but it looks like paint pigment. I always thought it was a type of clay...? Not sure about that now??<br /><br />Great post!Susan - Era Art Jewelryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333142593450324587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229548249871443079.post-86206456961987388132011-07-20T03:58:52.375+10:002011-07-20T03:58:52.375+10:00Yay!

It's the mortal enemy of clean flux!<br />It will burn from the yellow color to a deep burgundy during soldering, and will not wash off in the pickle, which is handy!<br />It scrubs off with a soft toothbrush and soapy water.<br />And best of all, if you buy it in a set of gouache paint, you can be an artist, too!<br /><br />Happy soldering!Mariann Monikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11022511339650423532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229548249871443079.post-81756268571201327892011-06-23T23:36:10.020+10:002011-06-23T23:36:10.020+10:00Running out to pick up yellow Ochre!!
