Three stainless steel brooches, with fixings already soldered to the backs, sandblasted and awaiting their appointment with the enamel brush. I started enamelling on them on Thursday. (What a tease, I know, but more images of where they’re now at are coming.)

By the way, those of you who work with steel, is the blackening that appears on the un-enamelled parts relatively stable? I’m contemplating leaving some expanses of this untouched. Over the sandblasted steel it’s quite an appealing matte charcoal colour.
