Thanks Lori! The Chinese characters are copper inlay on the bronze. Similar to this piece my daughter did, except that we polished that one. The small charms we left as they came out of the kiln.

Thanks Laura, dressagewoman, and Jenny!

Jenny, I have found a huge difference in clays when working with Rio's BronzClay versus Hadar's Bronze Clay.

Hadar's, to me, is EXTREMELY similar to PM3 or ACS. I started out with Rio's but was getting really frustrated because it was always cracking (as I worked with it) or sticky.

These are great I just loved the bronze clay, my husband hated it because it dried out too fast for him, he prefers the ACS or PMC. I have been able to sell every piece but one of each of what I have made out of the clays. People truely are liking to vintage look of the bronze this year.
