Giving some shape to metal before you enamel it makes it stronger.
I learned how to shape copper pieces, then tried to enamel them.
The enameling was done by sifting, so it didn't stick well enough to the edges.
Putting the Klyr-Fire into a spray bottle (instead of applying with a brush) helped, but my technique needs some more work.
I wasn't trying to make finished pieces of jewellery here - I just wanted to see how the enamel looked on the various shapes.
Then there was the pig. I like the pig.
The copper sheet I used was 0.5mm - so quite thin. I haven't really tried this with silver or thicker metal.
