I had a commission to make a Spring Hare necklace, similar to one I have made before. Here are some pictures showing the process I went through to make it. Please feel free to message me if you have any questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\\\"\\\"
The wires are in position and ready to be fired on top of a layer of flux over the engraved silver disc.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\\\"\\\"
Colours have been ground with pestle and mortar and placed in little pots ready to apply. Notes in my sketch book and photos show me the colours I used before and the effect I am looking for. The wires are not identical and the colour placement certainly won\u2019t be which means the piece will be finished piece will be unique in its own way.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\\\"\\\"
First full layer out of the kiln. You can see it is very under fired.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\\\"\\\"
Wet layer enamel showing some of the blending. Ready to fire.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\\\"\\\"
The piece is ready for its first grinding. You can either use diagrit or I like to use my JoolTool <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\\\"\\\"
The piece has been partly ground down. You can see the shiny areas which will probably need more enamel. I will do a little more grinding, taking extreme care not to go too far so I make any of the enamel thin and pale in colour. Then I will glass brush it under running water before refilling the shallow depressions with more enamel.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have just made my first video and uploaded it to You Tube where I talk about the finishing of this piece in more depth. Check it out and let me know what you think. –Https:\/\/youtu.be\/7zUpowcjm-Q<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
