Semi successful! You can learn a lot from the results. The metal needed to be a bit hotter, my inexperience makes it hard for me to judge how the metal is behaving. BUT i am happy I have a good one!!

On my bench today, second attempt to use keum-bu gold leaf (success!) on glass. It’s much shinier than the overglaze and smell free.

Close to finishing my 3rd and 4th gumdrop rings 😃😃😃

Some days just feel like an exercise in frustration.
But I am making progress and I am working in my studio.

Doing and being is the important part.

I love my Gumdrop Rings, made with glass that looks like sugar.
Please don’t eat them 😅
