[sterling, copper & enamel]
I finished the bulk of this neckpiece a few months ago but felt the blossom needed a little more oomph so I added one more layer of petals and enameled this portion of the flower a gorgeous teal blue. Now the piece has the perfect amount of zing, just in time for spring. Oh! Look at that! What a nice rhyme.
[copper, sterling & enamel]
These neckpieces are a continuation of the cairn series I’ve been working on — they’re really all about color and form. The enamel in both of these pieces is so nuanced, each stone is transformed by different kinds of light which reminds me very much of wet stones beneath lake or river water. Complex and divine, so simple when lifted up and out of the water into the thinness of air. They wear beautifully, are quite minimal and the chosen colors make for a very nature inspired racket around the neck. They’re going to be a pain to photograph but I love them for what they are.
Wow you really captured the look of stones weathered by water…the color variations are simply gorgeous. Hey and that blossom necklace isn’t too shabby, either. 😉
Thanks girl!!!
These are gorgeous! I love how your use of enamel has transformed. Those cairn necklaces are stunning–the emphasis and color and form is fantastic, and very eye-catching!
Cat!
It’s always transforming — you and I agree that creative work is about EXPLORATION.
Thanks for your kind thoughts on these pieces. xx
such opalescent colours!
so real: i could reach out and find these in nature….and on the riverbed….
Totally beautiful pieces, I adore how you paint an image in my head of submerged stones in babbling streams. Love
positively elegant!
the enamel is so rich and the structure so beautifully simple.
my heart kinda went *ping*.
Just loving all the gorgeous colors you are creating. (Almost makes me want to leave my bat cave and see what the rest of the world is doing!!)
