- In this video, Karen creates an all clay FS999 Cloisonne pendant. This method eliminates the use of silver wire which can be a challenge to attach to the surface. She includes tips on creating a border around the pendant which prevents distortion during wet clay assembly. Karen finishes this project by wet packing thin layers of color and firing after each layer is applied.

Absolutely gorgeous, thank you
Many thanks for a great instructional video, Karen, from London, England.
Thanks so much.
Beautiful work ❤
Your a natural and great teacher! Thank you :)
Thank you for shering your design ist so beautiful.
Those pieces are so cool. I am glad I found your channel.
You’re an amazing artist😍
A wanderful job
Great video thanks. I used a toothpick to place the enamel which was easier.
thanks for sharing this information ma'am have a nice day.
Another great video Karen. I have to teach you to cut your wires on the Curio .
Yea Cindy! You go girl!!!
Hi Karen. Love your beautiful clay design. Can you tell me where the silver comes from? I didn't see you painting it on and feel like I missed something. I'd really love to give this process a go... so thank you 🙏
Hello, the silver is FS999 Fine Silver Clay. You can find this product here: www.cooltools.us/FS999-Fine-Silver-Clay-p/fsc-025-p.htm

I just tuned in to your Post. How do you transpose this to silver?
You are a very good teacher. Thanks.
Hi Thomas, once the silver clay is fired in a kiln, it turns to silver metal. Hope this helps, thanks for watching!
I can't tell what size brush you're using, but you might consider a smaller brush for those tiny places, like 20/0.
Hi Karen. What is clear for silver enamel ? love your work
Thanks, Robyn! The “clear for silver enamel” is an enamel specifically designed for use as a base coat on silver, as it doesn’t yellow [which could muddy or impact other colors placed over top it] like some fluxes or fusing clears do when applied to silver. You can find it here: llections/thompson-enamels/products/medium-enamel-transparent-2020-clear-flux-1-oz
How do you fire the front enamels without messing up the back counter enamel? Thanks
Hello, you will want to use a trivet to place your piece on. You can find these here: www.cooltools.us/searchresults.asp?Search=trivit&Submit=Search
Thanks for watching!
Great video and beautiful piece, Karen! That larger one you did is really to die for.
Can you torch fire these? If not, can they be fired in a beehive kiln? I can't afford a regular kiln.
Also, isn't it harmful to the plumbing to be washing glass and silver particles down the sink?
Thank you so much!
Unfortunately, our FS.999 does not torch fire well, and I had to use FS.999 in this project for its unique flexibility in order to get those sharp bends in the simulated cloisonné wires without the clay breaking. I went ahead and tested a left over green-ware piece I had from preparing for this video, and it was able to be fired in the beehive kiln. I fired it for an hour with my beehive kiln set to 10 using the temperature controller.
The glass and silver particles end up being so fine that they are carried in the water through the plumbing without any harm to the system.

That _pop... pop... pop_ in the background is *really* annoying! I hope not all of their videos are like this.
Edit: The presenter was very clear and concise, but I couldn't tolerate the the background noise, I did skip to the end and the piece looks great! Get a new producer A.S.A.P!!!
Hello, the clicking noise you hear in some videos is the kiln running in the background. The kiln runs in our studio in some videos as the pieces that are shown in the video are fired. Thanks for watching.
Lol!
