I've been stretching out scraps of copper until they are paper-thin,
then cutting into them and shaping them into crinkled and tendrillar shapes.
A bit of solder tacks them in places
and attaches bases.
Tonight, I started to apply layers of enamel.
They go into the kiln at about 1450˚.
After multiple firings, the transparent enamel starts to take on a radiant sheen.
The enamel can't touch anything while it's in the kiln,
so each piece requires its own weird method of propping it up.
