That's great Cornelius, it almost persuades me to go in for enamel, especially after all this talk. Dennis.

Oh, wow I love it. I really must look into enameling.

That's great Kwant, love the idea and the name which is sadly so apt for this years summer!! A lovely piece.

Looks like you're getting on well with your new kiln and enamels ;D

[caroleallen]

Great idea. I love that you can change it according to the weather. It's a bit like those clocks you used to get.

Here's my effort, a silver ring with a micro-hammered texture to represent the raindrops hitting the pavement, set with a rainbow of gemstones to represent, well, the rainbow! I used garnet, citrine, yellow sapphire, emerald, topaz, sapphire and amethyst. I wear this one every day :-)

Here's my meagre effort which is a reminder of the last cold winter. I fused silver dichroic glass for the icicles then made a crystal beaded necklace to hang them from.
