Silver and Rare Earth Magnets

Needlework Retailer News just announced new silver clay magnets from Michele Ink Designs (a cross stitch designer who dabbles in metal work on the side).   These are not shown on the website link, just in the photo posted by Needlework Retailer News, but they all seem to be in ocean themes.  By the way silver clay is a clay with real silver in it that can be shaped and fired like pottery.  I have not seen these in person so I can't judge how much like silver charms they look or how durable they are, but with rare earth magnets to attach them they will cling well to your needlepoint canvas.  I think these will be an elegant and interesting addition to your needle magnet collection.
