I made another one for my friend. I didn’t like the other one.
Enameled Bangle Bracelet
I gave up on trying to enamel round wire. For some strange reason, the enamel on round wire keeps popping off. I mean likes shards of it just flying off. It’s the weirdest thing. I tried several different experiments and this happened every time. So, instead, I tried some flat copper wire tonight and I had no issues except where I solder the wire together. I used silver solder since it’s supposed to be compatible with this enamel but I got some crazing. I put it back in my torch flame and heated it up so the enamel pulled away from that spot. It doesn’t look bad but in future ones I’ll either have to fuse the copper together or overlap the piece and rivet it together.
Copper Bangle With Enameled Flowers
I made this for my cousin’s daughter for her Christmas present. It’s kind of plain but I like it like this. I hope she likes it too.
Porthole Pendants
I know this is a bad picture. I took it with my phone. I’ll have to take a better one later. 
The bunny one I made for my friend for her Christmas present. I hope she doesn’t look here and see it. I didn’t do a good job pushing the tabs over on hers. I figured out a way to do it after I messed up. The smaller one was easier because the metal is thinner. I put a kitty picture in it so I guess I’m saving that one for myself. The picture is covered with a glass dome.
Enameled Wire Bangles
These are my first attempts at making wire enameled bangles. They weren’t totally successful. It’s hard to see in the picture. The enamel kept popping off in slivers, probably from thermal shock.
The bottom one is made with 6 gauge wire. It had the most enamel cracking off. I finally took my alundum stone and just filed down all the rough spots. Kind of made it look more organic. The top one is out of 8 gauge wire. The enamel stayed on better. I have more experimenting to do before I can sell these.
Enameled Pipes Pieces
I cut some pipe as thin as I could with a pipe cutter and enameled these pieces. I just hung them temporarily for this picture. Not sure what I’m going to do with them yet.
I played around with using different color base enamels then put on top some transparent enamels. If I overheat the enamel, it will bubble and bring up the bottom layer of enamel color. I think it gives the pieces more character.
Ginkgo Leaf Pins
I used some of the ginkgo leaf beads I made last week in these pins.
I kind of like them.
Another Batch Of Gingko Leaves
Still not sure what I’m going to do with these. They are kind of fun to make.
On the two bottom ones, I used this Loetz gold powder and it’s supposed to make it have a metallic look. I got some metallic but when they are held up to the light, it just looks dirty. Probably won’t be using it again for these leaves.
Gingko Leaves
In glass, of course. My friend made some gingko leaf pendants out of polymer clay and wire. I thought they were cute and decided to try them out of glass.
Still need some work. I’m going to have to study some real leaves closer.
Flat Disk Beads Completed
Yep, I’ve been finishing up a lot of stuff this weekend to prepare for my first craft show. These are pictures of all the flat organic disk beads.
All laid out flat. I like all the different colors in them and the irregular shape. This is probably the closest I will come to making “organic” style beads.
Here they are stacked. I finally figured out how to get the little silver specks on the beads.
