More Alchemy...
This is a fold-formed copper bowl that I kiln-enameled. I originally made the bowl last summer and then finished the enameling today.
Alchemical Magic at Work...
Torch-fired enameling:
These will become pendants and earrings when I add the findings. They are all reversable.
I like to layer and mix the glass enamel in a way that is similar to how I paint: whimsically.

Tortured Metal
To me, I think that metal that has been fold-formed and textured often looks like fabric.

Enamel Prep
Making copper blanks that will be enameled and then made into earrings and pendants.
I sawed a piece of 24gage copper into half inch sections of different heights.
Once I drilled holes and cleaned each piece using 3M rotary bristles on the flex shaft I tied the match pairs with thread to keep them together.
Here are the larger pieces I plan to enamel during class this afternoon.
The bowl needs to be re-enameled. I made it last summer but didn't get a chance to do enough enamel layers. Time to finish it!
