Riveting Enamel

Spring brings new energy for using old ideas in exciting new ways.  Here is an example of how I connected an enameled piece to a copper back with heat rivets.  The silver balls are heat rivets.  Heat rivets are made from a silver wire that is heated until it balls up.  If you'd like to learn how to create your own heat rivets, please check out my tutorial.  This beautiful sunflower necklace is in my shop.  A miniature version, inorange, red or yellow, can be found in my Etsy shop.  See picture below...
