I've been playing with enamel on metal clay, something that I circle back around to occasionally. I keep thinking that I'll find time to immerse myself in enamels and actually make some of the pieces in my sketchbook designed with them in mind. Of course, since I only play for a short time before I get distracted by the next deadline, I never make as much progress as I'd like, so I've vowing to try to stick with this for a least a little while and try some new things. I use enamels on glass all the time, so the urge to do more enamel on metal is obvious. I like the painterly nature of that material, the luscious burst of color that it imparts, and the challenge of mixing my two favorite media (metal and glass).
Whenever I start dabbling with one of my aspirations like this, I inevitably start pulling up inspiration from my collection. I thought maybe you'd like to jaunt along with me on in my explorations, to see who amazes me and lures me to try crazy things.



Luckily, I did order the enamels she recommended to me, so they are here waiting for experimentation. I think it's time to get started.
Yes, Linda is so talented, and a delight to meet in person! Am curious about the enamels she suggested - perhaps we should chat...
ReplyDeleteI agree, time to get started! Can't wait to see what you come up with... :)
Linda's book is definitely my favourite enamel book - just so inspiratioanl!
