    Hi Angi, I'm in the middle of my first enameling class and it's
    quite fun. Do use fine silver for your castings, sterling will
    oxidize. Also, if you are casting, you may consider skipping the
    cloisonne step and just building the recesses to fill with enamel
    directly into your wax (as opposed to adding cloisons).Doing that ,
    I believe, falls under the "champleve" catagory. Best advise I can
    give is experiment and have fun!
