Yep - we did one piece in my Level II class - but what I really want to try
is the Plique a jour technique (like little glass windows). mmmmmmm.

You can also make enameled beads on copper tubing (that's the beads we
learned to make first in my glass bead class).

and you do NOT have to buy tubing to make them
email me if you want the alternative way... (which is much cheaper)

to the Enamelist Society convention - and he did beautiful plique a jour...
