brooch with cold enamel

 
I tried the so called cold enameling. Epoxy was mixed with enamel powder. Additionally I used acrylic paint to deepen the colors and set accents.
The stones are: 2 amethysts, 7mm
garnet splinters
black jasper splinters
metals: nickel silver, nugold, brass, copper

brooch with epoxy and acrylic

I tried a new technique. Cut off brass tubes were filled with epoxy resin, which was mixed with acrylic paint before. The brass bezel on the right side was filled with garnet and peridot splinters, then epoxy was  put over it. The copper disk is on the same level as the surface of the epoxy resin.
