Enamel Wannabee..

I cant take it anymore..
every time I look at all the wonderful enamel work..I just go ga..ga..
Take a look at these beauties on Etsy..
Just click the link below the image to go to the listing..

These earring are AMAZING!!!


and look at these YUMMY moss bead caps by Mary Jane..


Then the other day I came across this tutorial on Vintaj
using melted Utee..
Mmmm..kinda looks like enamel..
and you dont need a kiln..
Love it!!


and so I got to work trying it out!!
Started out with some brass findings and Filigree..
..a pretty simple way to add color and dimension to your metal findings..

..and I had some time use some of my little findings in a felt and metal cuff..


and new necklace named "Anything is possible"

Give it a try..its a fun way to fill that creative need for enamel work!!

Sending prayers and Hugs to all the friends and family preparing for Irene.
As always,
thank you so much for stopping by

It's one of those things that's been on my to do list for some time, but given the length of the list it may be there a while yet!!! Thanks for showing it so well in action though :o)

Hello Cat: I adore enamel work and did a lot of it when I was 16 years old. I was introduced to the technique in a high school art class. Haven't touched it since but would love to return to it. Sea Witch

Cat, you constantly amaze me! You have no fear and just jump in, whether it's resin, soldering, and enamel. I love enamel as well...and would love to give this technique a try some day too. Just look at all of those yummy, colorful findings you created!
