Fun with torch enameling!


I shared some of my initial enameling results in an earlier blog post (http://cserpentdesigns.blogspot.com/2012/06/my-new-endeavor-revealed.html).  I've been working at it some more and had a productive weekend enameling beads and caps.  Here is what I started with


And here are the results!


I just love the flower drops! I'll be selling these (and more) at the Senior Classic Women's soccer tournament this weekend in Mira Mesa.  I'll be playing and selling again this year.  Fortunately my wonderful hubby will be helping out since normal helper (mom) is recovering from surgery right now.

We'll be at Hourglass Field in Mira Mesa (just south of Miramar College). Park in the Miramar College parking lot. We'll be there from 9-3 on Saturday and Sunday. Here's a mapquest link if you need it: Hourglass Field. Hope to see some of you there!

Thank you Donna! It is fun - and I just did a lot of online searches for torch enameling. Found many written descriptions of the process each person follows. I did buy a book by Barbara Lewis which has a lot of information in it.
