Thompson Enamel Collections

You probably remember I mentioned that during a drive from Maryland to Florida we were having fun in the car with designing enamel collections with names like: Rumrunner, Margaritaville, Flow Blue ....  Well, here they are and they're available at my etsy shop.

Each collection consists of 5 - 1 oz. packets of Thompson Enamel, 80 mesh, medium temperature/medium expansion enamels.  Some are transparent, most are opaque.  Prices for each collection vary from approximately $19.00 to $23.00.  Some of the enamels have gold in their formulation which accounts for their higher in price.  On the listings I have tried to show different pieces of jewelry or beads that have been made with some of the enamels for your reference.  But believe me ... there is so much more you can do by overlapping, layering, etc.

Sea Grasses ... Nut, Lichen, Robin's Egg, Nile Green Transparent, Moca


Summer Breezes ... Turquoise Transparent, White, Cascade Blue Transparent, Horizon Blue, Lichen


English Garden ... Foxglove, Goldenrod, Orchid, White, Heron Blue Transparent


Hot 'n Spicy ... Goldenrod, Mandarin Orange Transparent, Orient Red, Nut, Orchid


Rumrunner ... Lichen, White, Mandarin Orange Transparent, Horizon Blue, Orient Red


Cafe Au Lait ... White, Nut, Moca, Black, Orchid


Margaritaville ... Bitter, Goldenrod, Lichen, White Mandarin Orange Transparent


Flow Blue ... White, Cobalt, Horizon Blue, Nut, Orchid


Persimmon Delight ... Pumpkin, Heron Blue Transparent, Moca, Cobalt, Nut


There are a few more coming ... so please check back!
