    interesting demonstration. Thank you. It would be considerate if people's questions were given an answer. These are legitimate inquiries.

    Thank you ❤️ I hope I can find a class of something like this in my future ...
  • do you have to coat the pieces before you start? what type of enamel do you use? what are you cooling the pieces in?? this is so pretty!! love it!

    Hi, nice vedio! Hard enamel is the best and will have no scrathes ever. Yet its cost is very high. Now most pendants used for sports, or meetings or other activities are using semi hard enamels. It is cheaper and can be kept for years if not in sweat and tears! We also make that in China, maybe we can co-op with each other, if you don't mind!

    Barbara, how do you use this torch method if your workpiece does not have a hole in it to hold it?
  • @6wms
    What do you use as a mandrel? is it a special tool or something you just use?
  • @kathyj7425

    when you say you used the small torch to enamel that you use in your workshops , do you have a video or website that shows that -thank you.
  • @IvoryDoll
    Where do you get your clear enamel from?
  • @Ivysaurus670
    I have purchased your book, video and enamel and I still can not get it right. When I am trying to do the pendant, one side will be nice and the other side will be grey. What am I doing wrong?
  • Hello! Could you please tell me where I can purchase a cooling station like yours? I have done searches and cannot find it anywhere. I am also looking for a reference for the enamel powders. Your reply and info is much appreciated! Thank you! Cheldena

    I was thinking you mentioned on your craftsy class that you use tig rods ??? My son got me some as he and my husband weld but hes afraid I'm wrong and just wanted to check - I do have your book and just took your class! I looked up your store and it said the number had been disconnected so I'm hoping your website is a place I can order supplies from :)
