I got my book, and I realize that there are some tools and such that I still need to get before I can get started.

• A sink with running water (hubby is working on this)
• a sheet of mica (not essential)
  
• fireproof gloves (I knew this already)
• a good dust mask
• a fiberglass brush
• wet/dry carborundum paper (320-, 400-, and 600- grit)
• a jar (I am sure I have one ;))
• comet powder
• some green scouring pads
• a new watercolor paint tray
• some paint brushes
• teeny spatula
• holding agent (klyr-fire)
  
• eutectic solder
• cloissone(sp) wire
  

Wow that is more than I realized, I guess it will still be a while til I am fully ready (cash flow ya know)

What to do with it!

I will be enameling copper and silver with my new kiln.
I have not used a kiln in about 6 years, so I bought the book "The art of Enameling : Techniques, projects, inspiration" by Linda Darty.
I know the book will be a good one because she was my professor at East Carolina University.
I can't wait to get the book, refresh my memory and get started.


There is something else I wanna do.
Since Argentium Sterling Silver is so new, there isn't anything really published about enameling on it. I plan of testing the waters to see what happens. We shall see. I already know torch firing works just fine on Argentium Sterling Silver.

Have I ever mentioned, I LOVE Argentium Sterling Silver!

I GOT A KILN!
