Recently, a friend gave me the brilliant idea of incorporating homemade pigments into my enamel work... and of course, I had to give it a try!So far, the results are incredibly mixed. In this era of artificial dyes (that do not stand up to the intense heat needed for fusing), the pigments that I'm using come out of the kiln faded and burnt looking. Although, despite that slight "disappointment" the effects I'm getting are very earthy and interesting.
Pictured are the samples that I've created so far... I look forward to playing around with this idea. The possibilities are just endless.
