Enamels

I did an enamel piece to go with my platinum but I ended up accidentally chipping it in 3 places and I just really wasn't happy with it at all so I decided to enamel a few more pieces and maybe try other colours.

My first 3 were disasters, looking at figure 1 from left to right my first one for some reason became narrow I think this was from trying to get the enamelling tripod to hold the piece but it ended up squashing it. The second one I tried a different green but the red did not fire into the green, as nicely. I also wanted to try the red on a dark colour like blue but as the red cooled and became brighter after enamelling all I could see was Spiderman colours and I cannot unsee it.

I decided to stick with the blue-green I was originally working with as I have fallen in love with how the two enamel colours complement each other. I did 3 variations of the placement of the red enamel. I am going to work with the enamel on the far right of figure 2.
