Day 4. 365grateful - Metal Clay

Today I am grateful for silver clay. I love jewellery making and first tried silversmithing but it didn't really click with me. Then I heard about silver clay. It is a clay like substance that is made up of silver particles and a binder. When you burn off the binder with a torch or a kiln you are left with a 999 piece of fine silver (sterling silver is 925 so is not as pure). I love working with it.

If you want to turn your life around, try thankfulness. It will change your life mightily. Gerald Good

The 365 Grateful Project
In early 2008, in an effort to fight depression, Hailey Bartholomew started a year long photographic project which involved taking one Polaroid photo a day of something she felt grateful for.
I thought that this was such a fab idea I would do it as well. I have been blipping on and off recently but I lost my enthusiasm for it when I felt that every day was the same, always going to the same place. However, I think that documenting something I am grateful for each day gives it a different slant.
