    in the topic enamelling a folded 3d shape in the forum General Discussions

    Hi Anne,

    I love these earrings.

    You did not mention if you are using transparents or opaques -  I assume transparents.

    Are you applying clear flux as your first layer?

    I would wet pack the earrings one layer at a time- clear flux, dry, fire - next layer of color, dry fire, etc.

    If you are using transparents you will need to apply a few layers to obtain the desired depth in color that you are looking for - the first layer

    is always very transparent - it always looks good once you apply the wet enamels and let them dry - but once they come out of the kiln

    they are very thin - better to be thin then too thick and lumpy - 

    ..... and yes, its a head banger!!

    in the topic Challenges Anyone? in the forum General Discussions

    Hi Annette,

    Did you see the announcement on the Main Page from Sandra McEwen who started up Enamel Jam and offered a challenge to enamellers ?

    I joined her group and we all were given an individual theme which will be due in March.

    in the topic silver foil in the forum General Discussions

    Use a paint brush to move the foil around on a dry enamel surface. Once you have the foil in place, pick up a drop of water with a clean paint brush and place it at the top edge of the foil. The water has a capillary action which will pull the foil to the surface of the enamel - then add another drop of water to the edge further down the foil. Use a brush to gently smooth the foil as you go. Do not use to much water as you will have the foil sliding around.Then let the piece dry and fire.

    in the topic silver foil in the forum General Discussions

    Hi Patty,

     

    Once you apply foil to an enameled surface, allow the piece to dry completely - then fire it under normal conditions - 1450 - 1500 -

    same as you would an enamel piece without foil. You are simply re-firing the bottom coat of enamel under the foil to join the foil to the enamel-

    Cool then select your favorite transparent for the next layer.

    You will have to be more specific with the issues you are having  and are you speaking about ceramic pigments?
