No tools and no clay yet. Silver clay is expensive, but it's not necessary to buy expensive tools to work with metal clay. If you are completely new to this, you can start using metal clay with minimal investments in tools. Spent money on a packet of clay and see how we get on. That's what I did. I made my own textures!
I bought modelling clay. Is it same type like polymer clay? No idea... this is the one I found in the only one craft-shop by me :-(
Start with roll out the clay. Make a ball of it. Small one. Roll and flatten it onto your work surface, till you get enough flatt area to press your object into it.
This one use Lego ruck-wheel as object. See the nice texture, just like braiding.
The end of bracelet, which is many swirls, gave me possibilty to make this pretty texture.
This metal bird has colorful beautiful wings. I transform the texture, not the color :0)
Can't believe that a fly swatter made such texture. Don't forget to clean all dead flies away .. lol.

I still have to wait at least 3 days that they all dry and ready to use. Have plenty enough time for online shopping a packet or two of clay...
