Enamel... What is it?


Enamel... ah...it isn't finger nail polish or the paint we use on walls and miniature cars and airplanes. It IS vitreous enamel (glass) that has been ground down to a minute grain and then applied to pure metal..Copper, fine silver, or gold.

This piece is a dogwood created with many (30) layers of fine enamel applied to fine silver and then set.
