Something alot of people don't realize about the little sifters (red plastic with a twisted wire handle), is the tricky way to use them..Scoop up your enamel then while holding with your fingers, gently run your thumbnail towards you along the wire handle while aiming the enamel where you want it to go, as your thumbnail bu-bu-bumps along it will vibrate out the enamel in a controlled way. Less messy and more accurate than moving the whole sifter around.
Frantz also sells line tools for dispensing fine streams of enamel on your piece.
With enamel it's fun to experiment with gradients of more heavy to sparse coatings for cool fading effects.
