Just a simple technique, yet it looks more involved - I am surprised that the second coat of flux refired did not take the copper toward the gold look - it still remained pink? awesome experimentation.

this work is done in Graffito technique.
Flux is applied on a Copper sheet and after
drying scraped according to required drawing. The piece is then fired.
Thus, the pink achieved is the original copper
colour with transparent glass and scraped lines appear as drawing.
one more plane layer of flux is applied and fired.
Here the lines remain into this second layer of flux and further
saves copper from exposing to air.
The white is applied then with transparent and opaque both techniques and fired.
This is done three times here. Few more colours are applied accordingly and fired.
I normally play with enamels with transparent and opaque both applications.
I love to work in Graffito ,flux and white. Other colours are used just to enhance the work.

This is very nice work, Bhavna....
This is lovely Bhavna,
Could you share with us your techniques and the type of metal underneath?
