I used a stencil to create the underlying design then fired lead free, and then lead bearing over the whole piece which brings up the colour in the oxide. The next step was to form the copper shim which I cut with oxy to give the ragged edges.

Again I applied a layer of transparent and finally a layer of lead free over the textured area. less
