I just absolutely love color.... so I have always been interested in making metal shine with color. I have dreamed of owning a kiln .... then thought yikes not now my credit card cannot cope! I recently came across Painting with Fire. Painting with Fire is the work of Barbara Lewis. Painting with fire is all about Torch- Fired enamelling.
Effectively I dont need a kiln for now and that was music to my ears. I still am collecting all my supplies and am so excited to begin a journey of changing the color of metal. With enamels and this sort of work I will be working actually outside so that there is lots of ventilation. This is important. I love color and cannot wait to get started. Hopefully it wont take me another 6 months?? You know how it is too much to do and no time to do it in. Barbara has a great shop on Etsy that sells her supply creations and a shop that features her jewelry.
Those beads are great and would make great additions to those amazing creations of yours.... She has a blog and a Ning group. Also for Barbara runs workshops for those of you who would like to play with fire:)
