The fabulous Lora Hart & Lorena Angulo traveled to Austin this weekend to play in my studio. Today's project was torch firing enamels. We dapped copper disks, coated with a white base coat, then outlined in black & finally filled in watercolor with a brush, with firings between each step. This is my demo sample.

In between all the enamel, we visited some local galleries, where we got to admire two
Cynthia Toops brooches with a loupe. Tomorrow, we make journals before heading to San Antonio to Lorena's studio for more play time.
