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  I originally made the bowl last summer and then finished the enameling today.

I used several colours of blue enamel on top of a clear base.

Alchemical Magic at Work...

Torch-fired enameling:

These will become pendants and earrings when I add the findings.  They are all reversable.

I did those last weekend and these next ones today:

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!
