Thank you for all of you & your kitty's time with us. I for one think your awesome. And I want to wish you a Merry Christmas. And a great new year with your You Tube videos!! 😀😄
Hi Miss Nancy I haven't seen a clip from you in a long while. I so love watching your tutorials. You are such a cool lady. I am not making jewelry any longer. But I still subscribe because I enjoy your tuts.
Melodie Fairburn Thanks Melodie. I'm trying to get one out every two months or so. Did you see the two we did at the end of March? Busy, busy. Thanks for your support and thanks for continuing to watch my silliness.
Hi, do you also have a video or tutorial on torch firing?? On website maybe? I don't have a kiln, yet!! But I will. 😬 also, after you torch fired and cleaned the copper disc, did you wire brush it?? It's looks so shiny. And, is there non toxic enamel powder.thanks!! ❤
Gabby Flying Chef Hello my friend! Thank you, as always and thank you again for the beautiful bracelets. I wear them whenever I go out - which is sometimes too much and other times - not enough! Thanks.
Sorry Kallie, diamond shapes are another whole can of worms. I'm slowly working on a video on setting square, diamond-shaped and rectangular stones. Don't have a release date yet. But, hopefully, that will help when I finish it. Thanks.
Barbara Smith Hi Barbara, You can purchase leather gloves from a gas supplier or hardware store. Harbor Freight also carries welding gloves: Item#41054. I use two types: regular leather work gloves and welding gloves. You can also find a leather shirt or buy a leather or fire resistant apron for additional protection. My friend Sugar wears a leather vest/dress that she purchased at the thrift store. She wears it whenever she solders. Eye wear: Any safety UV glasses. Amazon has many types like this one that blocks 99% of UV rays: Pyramex Fortress Safety Eyewear. No open toed shoes and keep those gas hoses out of the way. Thanks for watching and for respecting your safety. Enjoy. N
Beth Millner Hi Beth. Yes, I do but, there is always clean up. There are ways to spray the adhesive using an aerosol can: Thompson Enamel carries this: A7 - Preval Aerosol Kit/ This is also useful when working on very dimensional pieces and for areas that are hard to reach. I have not tried your idea but, would image it would work best with a flat piece. You could also draw or transfer your pattern and then carefully paint the Klyr Fire within the lines - I would work in small sections. Another method involves using either a negative or positive stencil. Cut the shape from regular printer paper. Fire one or two base coats of enamel onto the metal. When done, paint the whole piece with the diluted binder. Press the paper onto the wet surface. It will stick where it is wet. Sift and remove the paper. It helps to make a pull tab on the stencil for ease of removal. All of this is much easier on a flat surface. There is also enamel paint: acrylic and water color to name a few. You can also make toner decals. See Enamel Work Supply: resources: Toner Decals. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching. N
Ben Nuccio Hi Ben, you can sift another color over it - especially for opaques. There may be a change in color though. Try two coats. I would experiment before enameling your final piece.
I think your videos are my favorite when it comes to enameling !
First video I have seen on Enameling, so particularly interesting. Thanks Nancy, I like the piece.
Thank you Nancy for all the information and process!🍀💯👏🏻💟

Nancy, there was no ad at the start of this video, great video love your work!
I've been looking for the long tweezers you used. How long are they, and any suggested sources? Thanks
As usual, LOVE your videos! aloha!
Gabby Flying Chef Hello my friend! Thank you, as always and thank you again for the beautiful bracelets. I wear them whenever I go out - which is sometimes too much and other times - not enough! Thanks.
love the new glasses..!
You are awesome
I have a handy tip for you... if you run your fingernail along the twisty handle, it will sprinkle the enamel out nice and evenly for you.
What if you want like a diamond shape
Sorry Kallie, diamond shapes are another whole can of worms. I'm slowly working on a video on setting square, diamond-shaped and rectangular stones. Don't have a release date yet. But, hopefully, that will help when I finish it. Thanks.

K I was just wondering. Thank you for the video
Hi Nancy,
I was interested in learning enameling and wanted to protect myself what kind of mask eyeglasses and gloves do you use?

Do you think it would be possible to spray the clear fire through a stencil and then sprinkle enamel onto the wet area and avoid the surrounding area?

Once you start w/the colored enamel and you are not happy. Can you remove it and start over?
Ben Nuccio Hi Ben, you can sift another color over it - especially for opaques. There may be a change in color though. Try two coats. I would experiment before enameling your final piece.
Thanks.
love U!!
...so remember, don't use cadmium containing enamel when enameling a fetus.
Steve Anderson Hi Steve, I probably won't be doing that today but, it had crossed my mind(s).
Steve Anderson Ooops! Too late!
PEPE! PRAISE KEK!
