I am always so pleased with how much detail it is possible to get using the Limoges enamel technique. This very tiny enamel cabachon is now a very tiny pendant jewel, and will be going to a new home tomorrow...
It started out as a sample piece for the future sewing charm necklace I intend to make this spring. An assortment of charms will ensue, some enamel, some fabricated with pierced and overlaid silver, and some various found objects... I am tempted to acquire a few of the Very Large Snaps, just because they would also be a fun addition to the mix...
But for now, there are enamel projects in the queue that will bring in some needed income, and that must come first... Still, there will be time around the edges of work to make progress on the amusing idea of sewing charms... I wonder what other kinds of charms I could make?
This second picture is specially for my Mom, who suggested that I include something to show how large, or in this case small, my projects are. Good call Mom!
