Not only does the enamel stay on the cable, but it joined these two pieces. Each piece of cable is a different diameter from 0.27mm through to 0.6mm, and had a knot for testing the enamel on and a knot to affix it to the trivet with copper wire.<\/p>\n

The large kiln wasn’t on today, so I will wait to fire this piece. Fingers crossed!<\/p>\n

I’ve moved on to a smaller piece – to fit it in the kiln, and because these are all I have left of my pre-prepared metal pieces.<\/p>\n

Fired! This one got a little shaken before entering the kiln, so some of the missing patches toward the frayed cable ends went missing before firing. Interestingly it slumped toward the back of the kiln, where it would have got hotter. Jessica has since suggested maybe I should hang them to avoid this. It’s a thought.<\/p>\n

You can see some exposed metal on that top layer in the foreground of that image. There was a small amount of enamel pinging off once it fired, but it seemed mostly from off the cable.\u00a0 It seemed to lessen as it became properly cooled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
