For all the enamelists out there without a kiln or who choose not to use their kiln, this blog is for you. I will be discussing new techniques and things I learn along the journey.

Playing with Mica
This technique cam from my friend Susan "Boo" Reynolds. She said she gets a neat effect if she sprinkles some flakes of mica onto unfired transparent. I tried it yesterday on some disks I plan to hang on earrings. I think it looks like snow. The total process included counter enamel (Thompson Black), Base coat of white (Thompson Undercoat White), then Thompson Transparent in Sky with Mica. When I was finished and the pieces were cool, I brushed off the excess mica and revealed this beautiful effect. Keep Creating :)
