hi all out there! so i have been a little absent & i do apologize. i am working on my juggling & hope to be getting better at it... starting now :-)
in my time away from blog i have been hard at work learning new skills & having interesting experiments with metals, glass enamel & stones.
one of my favorite parts of working with glass enamel is spying on it while it melts from a vitreous powder to a smooth, hard surface. lucky for me there is a peep hole for me to spy!
so it only take a few minutes once its in the big hot kiln but i am skipping way ahead of myself here.
the metal work to prepare ahead & the perfect sprinkling of powders is quite the art in itself. there is so much to this part that i am almost completely overwhelmed by the possibilities!
in the midst of keeping a clean station sometimes i can't help but to be enamored even with just the outline left behind! i really did have a hard time putting this one back in the container but at least i got this cute picture!
i have been sticking mostly to clears since i am so simply amused & feel like i really want to get my firing just right. honestly though the copper is just so gorgeous
with the clear!
the copper i stamped first & although i like the way it turned out i'm looking forward to trying it a new way the next time!
my other little works pictured here went through some oxidation & hammering before they were completed.
:-)
thank you so much for reading my little back to blogging blog!
