I made a metal clay dolphin roll stopper for my recent completed kitless fountain pen.

Looking good Cody. While you may like the matte finish, you might also start looking into some polishing equipment. PMC can take on a nice shine when sanded and buffed.
 
That is very cool, even if it is a dolphin! What's next, a rainbow?

In all seriousness, thank you for bringing it to us. Awesome.

That is great. Did you just heat it with a torch, I have some I haven't tried to fire yet.

Most of the clays have to be kiln fired, be sure to read your instruction sheet. The PMC+ can be fired with a torch, the instruction sheet will tell you how long to heat it and the color to heat it to.
 
Great, Cody.

Metal Clay & Supplies | Cool Tools has a remarkable array of clays and tools - also has a lot of technique videos.

I'm doing some small commissioned jewelry work with their recently added Sterling EZ960 precious metal clay (PMC):

I torch fire with a little creme brulee-type butane torch or fire larger pieces open-shelf (without carbon) in an Evenheat Studio Pro STP from Clay-King:

(I like my windowed version to oversee the action)
