Week 7 Glass Apprentice Challenge

METALS

Metals - Use of bare metals on glass. Silver, copper, gold, palladium, iron, brass are all candidates. For most of the beads I explored for this challenge I used copper foil, or a combination of copper and silver, or copper silver and gold. When copper foil is applied to the bead, then enamels are added and everything is cooked for a while, ranges of blues and aqua colors can be achieved to an organic effect.

My entry was the first bead
