Plique-a-jour Enamel: Fancy Bubble series

Thought I would show a piece of enamel work I did a few years ago...why...because I need to revisit this series.  It was very, very time consuming.  It's a  technique called plique-a-jour.  Enamel is suspended on a glue and water mixture and fired many, many times until the "cell" / or area fills with enamel.  It is stoned or cleaned after EVERY firing...and you have to solder with a special high fire solder.  I will need to get back to this soon.  Hopefully by summer 2012.
