kmmhug....I use PMC3. If you just google 'metal clay', there will be gazillions of hits. There are so many clays now that it's not even worth my while to try to explain in detail, but, long story short, the clay is made up of pure silver (or whatever clay you're using) particles and a binder and water. It works like clay, so you create something then let it dry. When it's in the kiln, everything but the binder burns away and the silver fuses together so you're left with a pure metal object. When it is rolled out thin it can behave like paper, so can be cut on die cutters. That's the REALLY short version:)
