Enameling
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
The book is useful for a broad spectrum of initial enameling skills. While it doesn't delve into minute detail, enameling is a hands-on learning and application art. So I found the directions and and steps useful for my needs. I will take care of the details.
Dover reprint of good cloisonne enamel work
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This is one of those books that you are giddy that Dover reprinted! it isn't for the very beginner in enameling but it will take the enameler thru all the steps for making some basic cloisonnes and then the settings and chains for them. The jewelry working/metal smithing section is worth the price of admission. The chain making section is old school just enough to get people thinking about the need for all the fancy gizmo's they sell today. I enjoyed the book as a whole. the B & W pictures are good being reprints. the project drawings, pictures and the wire bend diagrams are great. To bad more of the newer books don't include them. The resource pages were very complete and you will find most of them still doing biz and with web sites. If you have old Thompson Enamels you have picked up from some ole timer the list with numbers will be worth the cost itself. I own it, use it
Solid beginner information
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Well written with many photos and a step-by-step guide for cloisonné. Sound advice and useful trouble shooting. It touches briefly on other techniques without enough detail information to use but enough to start an interest in expanding enamels and a few trial experiments.
