After reading through the article on enamel work, twice, I have a whole new appreciation for the art of enameling. It ain't that easy! All that scrubbing, fluxing, firing, scrubbing, stoning, applying the enamel powder it is a time consuming labour intensive process just to get a small pendent. Not a quick nor easy process. You that do enameling have my admiration.

 Yeah doing enamel work is very very tough one but afrter finishin one work it looks very beautiful,,,,

Enamel has opened a whole new world for me, I experienced such trepidation when ordering my kiln but now I can't image my work without some color. I have a lot of admiration for all enamellist, especially Susan Knopp, Marianne Hunter & Karen Cohen and many, many others. I would love to have a class in cloisonné or painting with enamels, yummy!

Bentiron, I haven't seen this article yet, is this in the May issue?

It is the March issue and the article is on adding dichro paper to your enamel. Still a lot of work to make little pendent but they look so nice.

I agree.  It is a lot of work, however, I am intrigued and plan on trying it. 

 I think I'm going to try the liquid acrylic enamels with my beehive kiln.  I am new to this so if anyone has suggestions, please feel free to share.

I know I would need to clean the copper first.  Would I need to still use kylfire? 

 Thanks in advance:-)

 Great posts! I knew nothing about what is enamel.

I like cubic zirconia rings.
