Thanks Sylvia, it is one of my best selling pieces

Hi Geraldine. Lovely work again, thanks for sharing it with us, I know that it takes a considerable amount to time to make and edit, and upload these videos and they get in the way of making the ponticular piece that you ae working on, so thank you!! Please tell me what enamel are you using and where do you get it from. I’m only playing at a bit of cloisonné work so I don’t want to have to buy large quantities but I do want variety. I'm in Aberystwyth, Wales. Kind regards . . . Andy

Inspirational and instructional, thank you.

Hi Martyn and happy new year. Thank you - lots more videos coming down the line for 2021!

Such a simple design, which of course makes it all the more effective! I'm curious - how do you attach the piece to the mount board, please? I have all kinds of thoughts on how to do this, and a word of advice would be most appreciated! Thanks so much

Hi Janet, you can use any kind of epoxy glue really - anything that won't get brittle over time.

So the gold leaf is stable to just stay as is no coating over the top or going into the kiln?

Hi Lena, thanks for contacting me. The gold is put on with gold size (vegan), after all the firing is done. This is gold leaf - as opposed to gold foil. Foil will survive in a kiln no problem but gold leaf won't - it is too thin and would burn off.

I am just venturing into enamels. This video is amazing. Thank you for sharing. Why don't you use Kyl-Fire? I bought a big bottle of it! :)

Hi there, thanks for getting in touch. Yes, I do use Klyrfire but generally only on 3D surfaces. It isn't necessary on something that is flat - it is great for using on things like bowls for example. I don't know which you have (I have A3 which I think is the thicker one), but you can make them last longer if you put some into a little spray bottle and add some water. The other thing you can do is use hairspray - it does the same thing. NOT aerosol hairspray, the pump action one - the spritzer type.
