hello all,

    i have been reading the digest for a while and have been learning a
    great deal from all you wonderful knowledgable folks.  thanks to
    everyone who takes the time to contribute here! 

    this is my first time posting, and i've done some research regarding
    my question via websearches, but haven't come up with much, so i
    thought i'd ask heRe: 

    i was recently at a craft fair where a seller had some beautiful
    work that involved the transfer of paper onto silver such that it
    looked like an enamel finish, very shiny and somewhat raised, with
    bright and brilliant colors, but with no visible paper edges.  i
    understand this is done with some kind of epoxy.  does anyone know
    what kind, or what is involved in the process?  how does one keep
    from losing the color or pattern in some delicate paper when it
    becomes saturated with epoxy?  is it 220 epoxy or something else? 
    how does one file and polish this? 

    any hints, tips, pointers, or instructional info would be greatly
    appreciated - i'm fascinated by this idea but don't know where to
    begin. 

    regards, 

Eclipse
