Unfired Prometheus Bronze Clay First Attempts

These peices are my first attempts with metal clay. They are all from one 200g pack of Prometheus Bronze Clay. I formed them by rolling soft clay into molds which I made from sculpy clay imprinted with various plant materials. My release agent was olive oil. The larger peices are (hopefully) going to be pendants and the bottom five are (hopefully) going to end up as a single bracelet. I am pretty happy with them at this point, but I am a little apprehensive about my first firing. I will probably start with a couple I am less happy with and make sure the process works as planned. Any thoughts? Anybody have much experience with Prometheus Bronze Clay? I am very new to this process and will take any criticism, tips, or tricks. Thanks!
