New Enamel earrings and pendant designs
Housesitting "down south" for two months also gave me the time to indulge in one of my favourite jewellery making activities ...enamels. I never tire of watching the changing colours of the enamel as it comes out of the kiln at at around 780 degrees celsius and slowly cools to room temperature. Often I wish I could freeze the colour halfway through the cooling process ... just another excuse to buy some of the beautiful Japanese transparent enamels available from Coral at Enamel Work Supply. You can see from the photo below I had difficulty deciding which colour to use...
And, there are so many more colours I can try. I loved these as an easy to wear earring design to complement fashion colours but had to experiment with another idea I've been mulling over and am very pleased with the end results...
And, just because I can't help myself, I then had to make some in silver and gold ...
