Seems like there are never enough enamelists in one place to do a class like that....except maybe at the E. Society conferences.

I find it very hard to locate any workshops that teach cold connections with enamels. I wish
there was more of them. I would love to see this piece up close and learn how to do it-

Please keep me informed where and when you are teaching. My wings are always set to fly.

So, from the back you see six small brass hex heads. Yes, the small circles are inlaid seed beads - a technique I perfected for this piece as well as the "Marigold" pin/pendant and use frequently in my recent work/ teach in workshops.

Barbara, how did you attach your enamel petals to the silver back plate?
Are the small designed circles on the petals also seed beads that have melted?
