TRANSFERRING YOUR DESIGNS
After you have drawn your image on paper, it is sometimes difficult to transfer this image to the base of Fine Silver. A couple of things that might help you, after you have fired the flux coat on the Fine Silver base or any metal you are enameling, is to use either a Stabilo pencil or Spot Pens (made for black and white photography retouching). You can sketch out the design on the fired flux enamel coat with either of these, and place your cloisonne wires or add enamels accordingly.
The lines of both will disappear in the first firing and not effect your enamels.
Thank you for this post. I was struggling with a complicated design and was unsure about what to do to transferr it without contaminating the enamel.
Thanks for the visit. Keep the passion going!
