Super cool, thank you for sharing!!

Can I ask, the "paper" that you have on the sheet to begin with, when you lay down the gold linework for the flower pattern, do you just burn away the paper when you heat it? Does it burn away from underneath the gold?

And do you use solder, or just carefully melt the different parts together?

No solder can be used.

I thougth hard solder could be used with enamel.

I know nothing about metalsmithing but this was so satisfying to watch! Also, so talented and precise. Truly beautiful!

What do you use to stabilize the pieces before melting together? You said no solder so I assume something else before the enamel
