Last weekend I was in Michigan honoring my maid of honor duties at my cousin’s wedding. It was a gorgeous wedding where all of the stars aligned at the last minute. The weather was perfect (after pouring rain the day before), the food was delicious and the DJ was by far the best wedding DJ I have ever seen. The dance floor was packed from the first song to the end of the night and people kept asking for more.

Backtrack a few months ago to when I signed up for enamels class after almost a year hiatus. When my cousin asked me to be her maid of honor, I knew I wanted to make her a cloisonné pendant as a gift. I am really happy with how it turned out and might have to make a similar one for myself. Here are some photos of the stages. I didn’t go into quite as much detail with the process here as I did with this commissioned piece, but you get the point.
