Enamel and PMC experiment!

[wendy]

I'm used to working with silver and other metals so PMC is new to me, here is my first experiment - I call it the 'Anticythera Pendant' and its decorated with some enamels that I ordered from Cooksons last promotion (couldn't resist!!). I loved the fact that I use my (limited) clay skills and it led me to make something that I would NEVER have designed in silver - it looks nothing like my other work! I used Kingfisher enamel in the crevices by painting it in wet, then after that was fired I put a couple of layers of Elf Green on top. The enamel firing isn't perfect by any stretch but I quite like the variation in colour. A much more intuative way of working and a refreshing change for me!
