Sunshine Color Enameling & Tube Rivet Earrings by Jan Harrell
Jan Harrell, Enamelist, Metalsmith, Sculptor and Instructor at the Glassell School of Art in Houston, TX visited Cool Tools to demonstrate her enamel finishing techniques using Ferro Sunshine Enamels to already enameled earrings. To give these earrings that professional look, she includes her riveting method using silver tube.
Below, we have also included Jan's video on Enameling with Stencils. This is the first process she uses before she adds Sunshine Enamels.
The tools and supplies are listed below.
