ENAMEL EXPERIMENTS
I seem to be getting the year off to a swift start and spent the last few days
cutting and enamelling steel to make this concertina book about the
Oxford University Museum of Natural History. My dilemma now is, do I 
enamel the end boards or leave them in bare steel to let them rust?

The book looks amazing, so beautiful! and I do like the idea of the rusty ends. X
It's such a lovely piece of work Sue. I like the ends being dark and relatively plain to contrast with the other pages. If you decide to enamel them I'd keep them simple.
OOh, let them rust, the contrast to the white will be delicious!x
Ps. It'll give you a chance to start a second version....
This is absolutely amazing work Sue! I'd say enamel these ones to give it a completely completed look. Stunning either way.
Wow. Love it.
What a fabulous piece - I love the 'cow parsley' ends rusty or not.
so beautiful.
rust, rust, RUST!! Would you expect me to say anything else? The book is a work of art with some great imagery from the museum. Love the cupboards and shelves etc. Now you're on a roll what's next?
So, so beautiful
I say let them rust the juxtaposition of the enamel and rust will look amazing..
Decisions, decisions!! This is a wonderful piece, Sue - try the rust on this and make another!
Beautiful and imaginitive work. just love your "book".
What a great book! I love butterflies at the best of times.
but this book is very special. My
favourite parts are the cow parsley.
Rust or not? Hard decision:)
wonderful!
both - enamel part - very decently, and rust the rest
