There are different kinds of cloisonné wire:
The cloisonné wire can be copper, silver, gold or another kind of material. In this chapter you will discover how to handle and to apply this wire in your art piece.
Most of the time the wire will be delivered on a coil. Sometimes there will be some wrinkles in the wire. After sanding and cleaning there will be even more wrinkles in the wire. A way to sanding the wire and to get it straight without any wrinkles is on the following way. Connect one end into a vice and hold the other end firmly with the pliers. Now sand the wire with a sanding block. In this way you able to get the wire straight and without any wrinkles. As last, pull ones or twice firmly at the wire and the result is a nice straight wire.
Prepare the cloisonné wire
There is a manual available how to make this. So I put here a short description. You can find the manual at the downloads TAB at the Customer Service page. I have used here 2 different sizes of thickness cloisonné wire, round 1 mm and round 1,5 mm. For the inlay I have used here an anchor. We are here at the "Waterman" site !!!!.
