Go to Lucy Walkers Academy website to learn to flush set.

Came out lovely! And also love the die! what is this perticular die's name? couldn't find in their website..

I love Tuff break! Makes setting so much better. Thank you for supplying this :)

Absolutely brilliant work!!❤

I thought that "tick tick" sound was a clock, it sounded familiar. Just now, i realize it's the tick tick of the kiln!

Thank you Merry-Lee 🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️

Thank you so much. This is just what I needed today.

For the "dry completely" part, how long are you letting the piece dry?

Hi merry-Rae. I was noticing that you were enamel were powdery. They weren’t grainy like Thompson ‘s opaque. Are you using Thompson’s in this demonstration?

Martha are underglazes the same thing as Cool Tools sunshine colors

Such a beautiful, inspiring masterpiece Merry Lee!

My thanks for very informative video! As another commented "there is not much out there" to learn from, so I really appreciated you sharing this technique. I am learning basics of silversmith/jewelry but am limited by equipment (no kiln). However, I am pretty good with torches. Have you ever seen a piece (similar to that in video) successfully fired via torch? I have spent many hours on other projects, only to eventually realize my approach was impossible or beyond the hours remaining in my lifetime! LOL 😒

Thank you! Great tip!

Great idea, thanks !

Thanks for posting

Thanks for posting brilliant studying process want to restore pocket watch dials vitreous enamel today in India they originally enamelled in mud backed kiln

Thank you for this explanation of how to control these colors! I am amazed more people have not found this series. It’s a must see!

This series is brilliant! I don’t know how UA-cam has suppressed them from my feed for all these years! Thank you!

Can you give tips for drilling? My drill bit somehow won't go through. It used to be easy when I took a class and we had drill press, I now use flexshaft

Beautiful ❤❤❤

Thank you for your investigation into plique a jour. You are so generous with your information and there is not much out there. I wanted to contribute a little. I took a plique a jour class with Amy Lyons and discovered a couple of things. For the first fill she leaves a hole in the center of the cells so that the enamel doesn't pool on one side and the enamel is covering the cell walls. She does the longest and hottest fire for the first and last fire (1min 20 sec at 1450F). She also fires the enamels damp.

Thank you for sharing! Great work!

Who is the source for your locking tweezers.

This little die would make a cute little buckle. Beautiful work as always Merrylee. ❤️

How many mm thick is the frame? I am thinking this is a cast piece?

What gauge silver did you start with

Why are you still awake?! ❤❤❤❤

How big are your stamps 🤔

Can this process be used on fine silver?

Thank you for your posts! It is exceeding difficult to find any materials on any kind of step by step for any enameling particularly plique a jour

Thanks for this...I'm loving the cloisonné process but still struggling with settings! Nice to see it up close. 😊

Using Boric Acid and Alcohol solution to prevent fire scale on Sterling silver. I set up my solder joint using batterns and snippets. I wick off most of the flux then heat until the flux has dried, because there is minimal flux, there is minimal frothing, minimal movement. While the piece is still hot from drying the batterns, I paint on a boric acid/alcohol solution. It dries immediately and stops before it floods the prepared joint. Again avoiding frothing and movement of the snippets and parts because the boric acid has not flooded the joint.

Hi Sweet Lady!!!! No facebook still. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you Merry-Lee! I've improved a few of mine and can see the difference. And yes... I'll get to the others soon enough- thanks again!

Thank you again for all of your contributions here. After decades of jewelry work I'm now getting into enameling. I've been doing my own setting for years and have used this technique for moving stones around and setting/holding them. So easy to tell if the stone is tight and it can be easily steamed or ultrasonically cleaned off. I would imagine that a hot water wash would also remove it from sensitive stones. I use a small nail as a handle and have it on the back of the head.

You are right Merry-lee, so little info. But this makes us try and try and it is wonderful to figure it out. I did the same as you with different backings and finally settled on capillary action. Float the enamels on the water. A quick video ua-cam.com/video/rgVUo0NWs3M/v-deo.html And like most techniques there are several ways. Patsy

Your work is exquisite, I really would like to know are the scales beinging done with regular gauge fine silver foil or are you useing a thicker gauge.

Your creativity, skill and craftsmanship is excellent. It is for on person rare to possess all three.

I love this method, I always feel that I'm wasting good enamel when filling a glass and pouring it off. Thank you.😊

Beauty...

Hi mam i want total video in fiberglass brush making it's that possible

I just found you while I was looking for a tutorial on using mason stains. I had tried this a few years ago, but I don't think I used P3 and I think I tried it with water. Needless to say, it didn't work and I'd given up, but I have all of the necessary ingredients and am eager to try again. Thank you! PS...I've not had a great deal of luck finding information on using mason stains. Any possibility that you could do a video on that? How to mix them and with what, how to apply, etc. I would be so grateful...again, thank you.

I am so grateful for you sharing your knowledge so generously. After months of deliberation, I finally ordered your enamel starter kit! I can't wait to experiment and take some of your online courses soon. :)

So beautiful, so much detail with excellent color choices. I tend to get impatient, and over fire or don't do enough layers. Well 👍 done!
