looks a bit better ( improved upon) since your last one. never tried this technique. i guess it's a pita from the gitgo. i'd probably fail at the beginning, tryin to do all those wire pieces.
Monk there are many individual pieces of silver foil underneath the transparent enamel that give the white stripes the white flashy look. Many steps, many hours of work involved, no way to accurately put a value on. Each layer of transparent enamel theoretically is supposed to be applied thinly like one grain thick. The opaque enamels such as the black on the zebra are less fussy and can be applied quicker, and thicker with less firings in the kiln. Especially early on the wires are very fragile needing adjustments along the way and can and do come off especially in transport from place to place. At any time, especially when stoning the wires can come off or bend. The piece is very delicate, the enamels support the cloisonnes and give them strength. So as the layers are added on top one another the piece gets more structurally sound. The cloisonne wires can not be straight or they will fall over so a bend somewhere often at the ends of the wires must be worked into the design. At any time the least error can ruin the piece. Must pay careful attention to not to contaminate adjacent cloisonne cells with other enamels when wants to keep the colors accurate to the representation.
