This was done for a local music conductor's briefcase - a little inspirational emblem:
33626
Annealed, then hand engraved the copper, cleaned it with acetone, then masked off hands, baton and notes with plotter-cut Oramask 813.
Pulverized blue-green glass (washed 5+ times to get rid of oil).
Mixed glass with gum arabic, then painted it onto unmasked areas.
Fired at 1450 degrees (standard Limoges-style glass enameling technique).
Holes drilled, mounted onto briefcase.
(Penny to indicate scale).
(will try almost anything 2 or 3 times, or until stopped)
