Plain copper shapes ready for enamel powders |
Copper forms are my first priority.....next is cleaning, shaping, and doming. This may take a day or two, depending on the number of shapes.
Colors are fun to try ...mainly I start with white and kiln fire to 1500 degrees to create a base. More cleaning,
then I sift glass enamel powders onto the metal forms. Firing , possibly mutiple times , always
paying attention to the back of the pieces. These need to be sifted and fired as well.
Sculptural Enamel Earrings, Sun Yellow |
These glass enamel earrings are tumbled to smooth the edges and refine the colors. This process takes up to 2 hours. I love to create sculptural pieces.
Sterling silver ear wires complete the look!
