I’ve fancied trying out enamels for a while and came across Efcolor enamels, which are low-heat (150°) and quite inexpensive, so I thought it’d be a good way to try out the enamelling process.
As a first project, I wanted to make some earrings for my mum as it’s her birthday next week. I cut rough leaf shapes from copper, hammered a nail through the top to make a hole (my thumb took a few hits!) and enamelled both sides in shades of green. Then I put a couple of jump rings between the copper and the ear wire and put a few glass pearl beads on.
Here is the end result:

They look nicer in real life!
