Fire Torching

Fire Torching

These enamel pieces are made from copper sheet, sterling silver or fine silver that has been cut out, sanded, and hammered into a slightly domed shape.

Each  piece is carefully cleaned to allow the enamel to adhere.  Multiple layers of finely powdered  enamel glass is sifted and baked at 1450 degrees in a kiln or torch fired using MAPP or butane gas.   

After each firing layer the piece must be cleaned before the next layer can be added. This firing process is repeated at least 4-8  times.  It is a lengthy process, but so worth it.  

Stories are told with decals of flowers,  hand designed watercolors of sunsets or garden moments.

Crackling

Crackling

The crackle process involves layering teal blue, black, and lime green enamel, torching at 1450°F for three minutes. This creates a lava surreal appearance. Paired with gold findings and green semi-precious stones, the piece is a unique blend of vibrant color and texture.

Crafted with meticulous artistry, these enameled pieces boast a seven-layered fusion of Woodrow Brown, hunter green, and orchid, each layer torch-fired to perfection. The finishing touch involves a delicate sprinkling of reflective glass beads, adding a touch of shimmer to the intricate design.

For the completed earrings, I've incorporated faint lavender amethyst chunks, nestled between natural nuggets of serpentine semi-precious stones. These unique elements are elegantly showcased on French lever-back sterling silver earrings, creating a stunning combination of colors, textures, and craftsmanship.
