Default Transparent Enamels

Hey everyone! I have a few packs of transparent enamels but have no idea how to use them! Do I use them on transparent or opaque colors, and are there any special tricks I need to know?

Thanks!

Mike

Default Enamels

Hi-I ordered the sample mpack, you get several types and colors of enamels to play with. I have had them for over a year, and still have'nt run out! I experiment alot with colors, boiling the enamels, ect, so I dont really have a favorite. Great fun too! Just make sure of ventilation and wear a resperator, as always

Transparent enamels over clear (I sometimes use several colors on one bead) and then etched is really neat. Works great as a background, esp. w/flowers, too.
