Really pretty. Is it a pendant? Enamelling is great fun isn't it.

They're lovely... is it cold enamels? I'm a bit confused now.

Is the pendant resin moulded? :confused:

Thank you for all your comments.

Yes the star enamel project is a pendant.

The enamel piece was not placed in a kiln it was set by heating the whole piece. Which is brilliant as less cost required as no kiln needed.

Ill find out what enamel we used at college for this, I'm sure it was the standard stuff you place in a kiln.

Cheers Bubbleshell.

The enamelling is lovely. As are the rest. Is that silver leaf in the centre of the enamel?

Yes I did tourch fire the little beasty on a wire rack so as I could heat from the underneath to avoid burning the enamel. No its not silver leaf, the stars are solid silver.

It took ages to get the design right, but what a wonderful effect I ended up with.

I've been torch firing as well, and seem to be getting good results after a few burnings! It's great just for playing round before I invest in a kiln, and I find I'm learning quickly about how the enamel reacts as it heats far better than I would if I was shutting the kiln door on it. I want to do some more advanced techniques which will definitley require a kiln, but in the meantime torch firing is more than sufficient.
