So.. yesterday I tried my hand at glass enamelling for the first time.. and here are my results!
All enamels were kiln fired.
Top right:
Metal: Silver metal clay sample with texture - my own sample
Enamelling method: Wet packed
Colours: Translucent cherry red
Middle
Metal: Silver metal clay with texture - supplied as part of course
Enamelling method: Wet packed
Colours: Opaque aqua blue, opaque apricot, opaque scarlet red on top of translucent cherry red (didn't like the outcome of the cherry red, hence the overlay with scarlet red)
Far right
Metal: Copper sheet - supplied as part of course
Enamelling method: Dry sifting and wet packed
Colours: Background with opaque mid white followed by opaque buttermilk (both dry sifted and firings in between the 2 colours), painting done with opaque scarlet red, opaque black and opaque apple green (wet packed)
Bottom left
Metal: Copper sheet - supplied as part of course
Enamelling method: Dry sifting
Colours: Opaque apple green, opaque rose pink, opaque mid gree, stenciled leaves with opaque light blue, opaque arras red, opaque celeste (bottle green colour). The reverse side of the piece was counterenamelled with leftover enamels
Overall, I was pleased with the results.
