The summer shows are starting up! I’ll be showing my enamel collection at the Deefield Art Festival on June 3rd and 4th. All winter I’ve been cooking up some beautiful enamel necklaces and earrings, that I think you’ll enjoy this summer.
I particularly like painting bugs and flowers. First I take a picture, saw, press, or cut a copper or silver form, use fine glass particles in a sifter to create a background on the back and front, then paint or draw the bug or flower in special enamel paint. Each step is fired before moving onto the next. After I complete the enameling process I create a silver setting for most of my creations. I do hope you’ll come and check them out!
