Finally played with copper glass enameling last night. I used the sifting method, and it wasn’t as easy as I thought. It made me realize I prefer slightly larger ‘canvases’ … But, one very important lesson learned regarding what NOT to do: Don’t drop that 1450 degree piece of red hot glass/metal, as you’re transferring …

I tried to self-correct by pushing through an 18 hour …
Having a clean studio ROCKS!!!
I have three kilns running and more projects planned. What a productive week … I worked on some jewelry, wrapping up a custom cab order. Here’s a double dichro dragonfly pendant moving along (in the kiln now for a fire-polish) and a couple of penDot rings! I have the coffin running with future spoon …
