What is the merit of using oil with enamel, and would it apply to standard enamel cloisonné?
When you refer to Mica powders are you referring to something like PearlX mica powders? If so, is there a video on how to use them to paint fine silver?
Hi Rita, you can find mica powders here: cooltools.us/collections/mica-powder
We do not have a video on using them to paint fine silver. We will keep this in mind for the future. Thanks for watching!
Thank you ! What is it made of? It's not traditional hot enamel (powdered glass) right?
It IS indeed traditional hot enamel. More oxides than glass silica content. Hence it's overglaze.
Are the Sunshine enamels just for over glazing, or can you use them as the base enamels as well?
Hi Elyane, Sunshine Enamels cannot be applied directly to metal. They are to be applied to pieces that have already been previously enameled. Thanks for watching!
I don't have a kiln. Can these colors be added with torch firing?
Hi John, yes, you can learn more about how to torch fire enamels by watching this video: www.cooltools.us/Torch-Firing-Enamels-by-Karen-Trexler-s/2731.htm
Hope this helps!
Is lavender essence the same as essential oil? Or thats different i keep seing essence for mixing with the colorant and wonder if its the same
Hello, lavender oil is an essential oil. Many artists use a variety of essential oils, but we recommend lavender. Hope that helps clarify!
I didn't had the squeegee oil available nearby can you suggest any other alternatives ?? cause i tried lavender oil but it dries too fast and tried sandlewood oil as well but than the colour changes
Make your own oil mixture with mineral oil, a few drops of clove oil and a few drops of oil of turpentine. Walnut oil also works well. Store this in a small dropper bottle when you have found the right oil combination. Experiment with different oils for a more open oil...which is slower drying. Keep your work and paint covered and super clean or you will have fine specks all over your work.
Where did you get the blank with feathers. It's the main picture if the video
