Mystery Alloy


Here are a few new cloisonnes in progress- fine silver laminated with copper using eutectic solder. Notice the dark spots on the large piece: the solder has eaten through the silver to form nice little craters! The eutectic solder must've formed some strange alloy when it melted between the two layers of pure metal. I'll still enamel the piece just to see what might happen...
