I’ve loved making fortune cookies since I first laid eyes on instructions how to pinch these goodies into existence.
In my ceramic days I would make bright shiny raku fired cookies to hand out on Valentine’s Day, tucking little fortunes inside too.
This last weekend I took a class in making jewelry out of silver clay- a clay that handles like traditional water based clays (stoneware, or porcelain) but fires to silver. It was a blast and almost like magic to watch our pieces turn into real silver! I have no experience with making jewelry, so this is a whole bunch of learning for me! But I do know fortune cookies- a shape that so easily rolls of of my fingers…

I used to make a lot of sliver jewellery. I never used the clay method, but I have made a lot of interesting stuff from carving molds into cuttlefish.
I also used the lost wax method a bit too.
good job – that looks great.
(and thank you for your cool words on my blog yesterday)
maybe i should take up jewellery classes again instead of cooking ones to aid my predicament.
- Yeah, I’m thinking about art as a ‘eating better’ aid! Divert the passion else where! Our s.o.’s would probably like to help with that too

How cute – now I want one! I’m not horribly skilled with clay, though. Maybe I’ll try for a dinner roll first.
I think you have something there! HOW CUTE!!
WOW. You never cease to amaze and inspire me! Very cool. And I especially like your idea for ‘diverting the passion elsewhere’! I’m going to have to try that!
Great work, they are beautiful! I want one too
Hugs,

i have been looking for a fortune cookie
necklace and haven’t liked any of them.
but this is exactly what i’ve been
looking for them.
are you still selling them?
All shucks Becky- I’m not. I’m lacking a tumbler to polish the cookie part.
thanks for the note though, its encouraging.If I end up selling some I’ll put a notice up.
cheers
