Enameling 101
I'm taking an online e-course with Barbara Lewis who wrote the book "Painting with Fire". We've just finished our first week of the 3 week course and I've learned the immersion technique for torch firing a variety of beads and bead caps. Here are just a few samples of some of the beads I've done so far. Black Enamel base with a roll in Twilight Blue Copper Filigree Disc - this turned out beautiful with Robin's Egg Blue. I used my Acetylene Torch The bead cap is made from a penny and I love how rustic it looks. Something Old, Something Blue Love the colors on these - Mapp Gas with Hot Head Torch. Hoping I will be able to reproduce as enameling doesn't always come out how you expect it. I used 3 different enamels on the end beads Experiment gone wrong Filigree beads - Need to use brighter colors to make a mixed color necklace
