Art In The Pearl: Fine Arts & Crafts Festival

Description:

Each enamel is built up using transparent enamel with pure gold foil, silver foil, gold granules and wire in approx 40 layers and firings. Some of the larger granules have small diamonds set.The faces are built up with finely ground opaque and opalescent enamel in the same amount of firings to create subtle dimensions and a tactile quality.Inspiration, other than wildlife and the life we lead, are the enamels themselves and the materials we use. The pure gold foil is a very creative material and is important in the movement and depth of design.
We work on each piece together.
