Once decay has set in, all a can do is fill the gap with an artificial plug -- a filling. But in a paper published in Cell, Hannele Ruohola-Baker, a stem-cell biologist at the University of Washington, and her colleagues offer a possible alternative: it may soon be possible, the researchers argue, to use those protean cells to regrow a tooth’s naturally. economist.com/science-and-tech

Time for these to go into the oven for a wee bake (to set the enamel paint), then a final coat of white and a polish and they’ll be done! Not many makers can do enamel pins from scratch themselves but it’s not impossible (tho for larger quantities definitely easier to buy from a factory!)

More 'roses and castles' style, but this time using proper . Massive difference to using . Even good acrylic.

This was just to test out the paint and brushes. I'll maybe do a bucket or something tomorrow rather than just plain dry board like I've done here.

These earrings, of kiln fired enamel on embossed copper, with sterling silver ear wires, are SOLD and on their way to a customer in Battle Ground, Washington. I have more of my handmade enamel earrings in my Etsy shop (link in profile).

Embedding slices of decorative cane is a technique as old as Classical antiquity. Here I've combined this with another technique: adding powdered enamels and encasing them. I've used a light blue and pure white. Fortuitously, some of this has "burned" to become gray. Normally, this would be undesirable. But because it compliments the blue and white so well, resembling a turbulent sky, I've accepted it.

A piece that combines variously colored powdered enamels encased under clear glass with variously colored frit. The results can be somewhat unpredictable, which is part of the fun. It requires some discipline to prevent the enamels from burning / discoloring before they can be encased, and prevent the frit from spreading out and losing color intensity. etsy.com/listing/1359211144/ha
