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.
