  • Trish White Love it! what gauge is the bobbin lace wire? and what part of the fish is etched?
  • Jeanie Pratt Thanks! I used 28 gauge wire for the lace. I first tried 30 gauge, but it didn't have enough depth in the cells. The back of the brooch is etched in a wave pattern. The pattern on the front is roller printed.
  • Neva Warnock I just posted about this possibility on FB in the Enamel Artist group - that piece is quite spectacular!
