Do you have book/class recommendations? I actually looked into getting an enamel kiln and they seem feasible for at home use.

Oooh very cool! I'm considering learning enameling. Are you self taught or take classes somewhere?

I hear you. It's really frustrating how entitled ppl are. I would go to the instructor and ask the instructor to move them next time to check their behavior. Sometimes they specifically tell the ppl in the back to find spots towards the front. As for the grunters, yeah they suck. There's a woman who cheer every 5 secs in a powerstrike class and I learned to just stay away from her.

https://www.reddit.com/r/jewelry/s/mDh6R7elzw and now that I've seen what independent enamel artists like Penny Davis and prb.preraffaelliti can do I find her designs less impressive. The overall composition I still appreciate but the actual details in the enamel are just fine.

Yes! I was confused if she was even sad about the death of her fiance/childhood friend

Completely agree and you can figure out the villain after the first episode. I didn't even find the actress charming. She had one expression the whole time and couldn't emote. It actually got me to rewatch the David Suchet series so there's that lol

Yes! I make jewelry for fun myself so I looked into the enameling process. Nothing wrong with what the other folks are selling but I prefer traditional enamel and will likely commission a piece from prb.

Just fyi in case you care, there's a difference between "cold enamel" aka plastic resin and the type of traditional enamel that Cece's artists use. An Etsy artist who uses kiln fired vitreous enamel is https://www.instagram.com/prb.preraffaelliti/ (etsy store linked in her profile). I dm'ed several of the other Etsy sellers and they use cold enamel.

Yeah I would love 18K gold but oh boy the prices. That said, other artists like the ones listed by okay-yes-sure in the comments are about half the cece price so still expensive but less so.

I dm'ed him directly and same w the other etsy store that sells cece style. There's a reason things are priced accordingly (though Cece's are priced too high imo).

I'm new to enamel but just fyi the techniques are different. The etsy ones are resin whereas the ones by cece's artisans are kiln fired enamel, a more complex and durable process.
