Eager for Enamels
Today I did some enamelling using copper and brass blanks. Have you tried the Efcolor enamels? They’re lovely. You just sift powder onto your metal blanks and bake in the oven on a low heat for about 5-10 minutes. Here are some of the items I have enamelled. I’m going to make them into jewellery, earrings etc. It didn’t take long and it’s possible to add layers and rebake. This is a closeup of the yellow and red. It’s quite enjoyable to try different colour combos and I shall definitely be trying more of this. I wonder what is involved in proper enamelling? It would be fun to try it if I could, although I believe a kiln is needed which is quite an expensive item.I may look into courses for after lockdown. It’s always fun to try new things. All the best Shari x
