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.

Sending in Scraps
This week I took the plunge at $43 a troy oz. for silver and ordered some sheet and half round wire. After cringing as they ran my credit card I decided to take an accounting of my scrap silver to turn in to be refined. As I order my silver through riogrande.com, I am refining through them also. If you turn in fine and cadmium free sterling, and take a credit towards future purchases, you get 75% of your weight. Also, after drilling and sawing my silver I sweep off the shavings from my bench pin and am planning on turning in the shavings for a credit of 40%. I think these are really good rates considering they have to refine it and roll it. Does anyone know of any better rates? Keep Creating :)
