Fun with Raku enamel

I played a bit with the raku process a while back and got so-so results.  Then I listened to a video by Jean Tudor through the Enamelist Society, Inc and she inspired me to give it another try.  I incorporated some of her suggestions  and was able to get some really nice results.  As she says - if it doesn't come out the way you want it the first time, heat it up and try again.  In most cases it takes 2-4 tosses into the can to get the look I want - or to get the 2 parts of earrings to look somewhat similar. 

Fun times in the garage - torching and burning!

I'm working on new earring designs that will head up to the Art of the Holiday show, though they may make a brief pit stop here in my shop to give my favorite customers first dibs :)  Here are the crackle enamel pairs I made.  Some will dangle off ear wires, others will dangle below a gemstone or artisan lampwork bead.
