Ironically, after spending special time on the weekend cutting metal and flattening wire and taking an hour to drill a hole in the metal (with, as it turned out, the wrong drill bits)...I couldn't use any of my work, because apparently enamel needs pure silver and the CC apparently doesn't sell it! Dammit!
Oh well, at least prepping it the second time was a lot shorter. Not to mention using the right drill bits.
But after that was done, enameling was QUITE fun. I've got the back and front enameled now in a beautiful blue.
On the left here is the approximate Tower drawing I did for the pendant, planning on leaving a few bits out depending on space.
And here's what I've got- I've pretty much done the wire bending for the piece, but I ran out of time to glue it. Doesn't it look cool already?! I'm so excited. If it comes out well this may be my favorite jewelry piece ever.
Oddly enough, this went so fast, I may need to think of ANOTHER project for this class!
