Enameling; my earliest medium

Enameling, -
I have been developing this fascinating medium for over 35 years.  what is it?  Well, it is fine quality glass fused to metal by means of intense heat.
Process
Take 16-36 ga. copper.
Sift one or more prepared enamel colors.
Place in a kiln heated to 1500-1600 degrees F. for 1-3 minutes.
Remove from the kiln, and enjoy the transformation!

The separate elements no longer exist; they are forever fused together.  Before me is the start of an enamel piece, the canvas on which to express my vision.  There follows many hours of layering colors, exploring possibilities, problem solving, 2-20 more firings, and developing the piece until it is completed.
