Enamelling on art clay silver

I have been working on my enamelled beads again today and here are the results.  In the front is a small test sample together with a small silver bead.  The larger beads are enamelled to match up and tone with some glass beads I am also working on.  They are not perfect but I am quite pleased.

Work in progress

I had another lovely day in Whitby Museum.  I have done a few more sketches, taken more photographs and am beginning to sort out some of my ideas.  When I arrived home I was straight into the studio to do a few tests in enamel trying to match enamel to some glass beads I am working on.  Here is one of my test samples together with the first of my enamelled beads made in art clay silver.  It is not finished yet as it still needs stoning back, polishing and re-firing.
