Piece in a Day No. 2

I got up this morning and thought I'd have another go at...A Piece in A Day... and this is the result;

A small copper bowl made from two pieces of copper plate, one domed and then soldered to the second.

I then put some enamel powder in to the bowl....and the following is the fired result;

Enamel Testing....Sort-Of

Here's the piece I've made to try out some enameling. I've being trying to create transparent enamel in the spaces between the wires, but its proving difficult to get a complete sheet without holes. So I decided to put a silver plate in to support the enamel. This is the piece prior to enameling. I'd hoped to have a picture of the enameled piece, but have hit a couple of snags, hopefully I'll have a picture tomorrow...

Large Bowl

I've finally managed to finish the assembly of the large bowl. The size of this piece made soldering a challenge, but I made a breakthrough last night and here is the result....

Now the finishing process begins....
