    Hi all, I'm having a hard time with my new design.  I'm making a
    pendant which is really just a giant bezel with metal loops to attach
    a chain and 2 drops.  I constructed it out of copper with fine
    silver bezel wire.  I want to make the WHOLE DARN THING ORANGE!  I
    tried Ceramitation. All I can say is YUCK! What a sloppy mess.  Now
    I've moved on to enameling, but I'm not sure if this will work on a 3
    dimensional piece including my small metal loops.  Anyone ever tried
    it? I'm about ready to buy a can of rustoleum and drench the damn
    thing.  I don't want to go that route, but I can't think of another
    way.  So folks, how would you turn this metal monstrosity orange?
    Thanks, A. Derenthal
