Enamelled Roman Brooch Project #1

I loved the enamel Roman brooches from the museum the other day, so decided to give myself a little challenge and make some similar. I etched some copper with simple geometric designs, and chose a colour palette from my enamel samples. I have just finished soldering the findings on the back (remembering to use hard solder this time) and my next step will be the actual enamelling. More to come...

Etched copper discs to be enamelled
