Weekly jewelry - week 6

Basse taille enamel on fine silver. For my March class at the Memphis Botanic Gardens.
In class we will construct the base, and it can be super simple like these or more complex, combining champleve with the basse taille. Up to the student's comfort level. Textures will be available or they can create custom textures with scribes, ball burnishers, stamps, botanicals, etc. Pieces fired at lunch, and after lunch enameled using lead free transparent enamels.

Will complete at least one pendant. Some people prefer to make earrings or 2 small charms.
