After four weeks I am finally done with my first cloisonné piece! Sweet peas! This past week was a bit stressful and lead to some language that I will not repeat here. At the beginning of my class I finished up stoning and then put it in the kiln. As I was taking it out of the kiln (for what was supposed to the be the final time) something was caught and I mistakenly slammed my piece into the top of the kiln (insert numerous expletives here). I managed to get it out but part of the enamel was sticking to the trivet (it looked sort of like pulled taffy, but it was glass) and I had this white fiber all over the top part of the piece. Needless to say I was not happy but luckily I had another two hours in which I was able to fix it up and this is the result. I am pretty excited about it and look forward to wearing it. The pendant has a diameter of 2″.

I feel like it should have a title, any ideas???
