A New Way to Bake

See these….

and these…….

……well I baked them in this……

I had some left over clay from making my cabochons the other day and I’d already turned my bench top oven off, so I thought I’d experiment with my melting pot. I’ve had it for ages and had used it for its intended purpose which is melting utee and opals embossing powders and pouring them into molds or onto stamps and creating all sorts of things.

So I cut up one of my craft sheets to fit inside.

Put my pieces in and turned the temp up to 140 degrees Celsius, put the lid on and left them in for about 40 minutes. Worked like a charm. Perfect for baking small items or adding say a clay bail to an already baked pendant, hard to justify turning on the bench top oven for just one or two small  things.
