Blue Enamels
Just one of the many items I've created in the hot box of my garage. These enamels are destined to end up on a crown for a customer. They look pretty snazzy on the crown. My goal is to have the crown complete before Pacwar and I think I may just make it.
After firing, in need of spit and polish. |
Ready for the fire. |

For mE!
I'm finally making something for myself! So it's a new knight's belt. I have to do a joining plate to join two shorter pieces of white leather together for the belt. I had to cut a length from a white leather belt I bought for myself for a commission. So instead of what was going to be a 2" wide belt I now have a 1" belt. But I think I like the 1" more so "Happy Accident"!. Tip is all ready to be etched tomorrow. And buckle design is 90% complete. So this is moving along nicely.
12 of these plates done so far. They all wrap around to the back of the belt. Pics below of what's on the back and sides.

New belt plate test fit
This test plate is too large for the belt. I'm sizing it down. I really like the look of this one so far. I think I will try a white enamel.
