Deviant Patterns and Stencils

With engineering precision, I laid out my pattern. Transferred the points of incision to a stencil, surgically extracting the excess material. Later, in regards to the plan of enamel placement, I remembered that warm colors fire at lower temperatures than cool ones, thus rendering these cuts nigh superfluous. My best laid plans were merely a point of departure, a path from which to deviate. 

Pictures later. My next learning opportunity, or obstacle, was dealing with the copper buckling.
