    Personally, I have tried both - agree - it's ones preference. An
    interesting thing happened a couple of weeks ago. Being a PMC/Rio
    Certified, I get lots of inquiries about classes, etc. This
    particular one was different in that the lady wanted to color hers
    with Liver of Sulfur. OK - I was game, she had a bunch. I had the
    method that CeCe Wire uses - hot water, dissolve small pea sized LOS,
    dip while counting, rinse in clear water, etc. We heated water, made
    new solutions again and again, changed rinse water most often. (The
    bucket nearly runneth over!) These items had been fired elsewhere,
    but this gal knew which was the PMC 3 and the Art Clay (which # I
    don't remember). The same method of coloring was used for both and
    WOW, the Art Clay took the color immediately. 

    We did get gorgeous golds, bronzes, burgundy, peacock blue, slate
    gray up to the nearly black. The Art Clay was a little too quick to
    get the lighter colors but did get the darker ones. The illustration
    in CeCe's book shows what wonderful colors can be obtained in
    sequence. She has a great group to put on the market. I haven't
    contacted her to see how the colors are holding up.
