Hi Mary and welcome to this great website. I look forward to seeing your work, and I am enjoying the photo of your dog. I have a weakness for little white curly-haired dogs. LOL

Mary Prescott:
Thanks for your welcome, Yvonne. Daisy will be 11 in February, but is still full of energy and we love her companionship.

I've not been enameling long, and haven't yet made anything which I would put up, but I love it. I'm enjoying mixing my other skills

Hi Carmen, I use 80 mesh enamels in a painterly technique within the cloisonne cells. Sometimes I use the Fine Line Black to get detail in the animal portraits.

Thank you for your kind comment.
