I have been continuing my explorations with enamel. I started off with some cloisonné characters, but their images are going to be kept under wraps until I have them all
fleshed out (several months from now, no doubt). I have also been experimenting with some simple sgraffito - a technique in which you scrap away enamel you have sifted onto the surface. The
feathers were pierced from copper sheet then I have layered two colours on top of each other. After firing the base layer I sifted the second colour and using a toothpick I scraped away to reveal
the base colour to add more dimension to the feathers. I made these in mind with the Pay-it-forward volunteers from a facebook wall post a while back. To give all those who are not in the know a
run-down on how this works: I spotted the declaration on a friend's wall for all willing participants to repost so that the first five people who commented could receive something that you have
handmade. I contemplated going off into left field and creating something non-jewellery related, however as you can plainly see that did not happen.
Collana numero cinque is in the works currently...
So for any of the participants who are going to be receiving something in the mail from me... after numbering each piece I drew names randomly to select who was
getting which feather. I hope everyone loves their new necklace!
