Magenta Butterfly and Flower

Deep magenta tipped wing butterfly floats over whimsical flower bursting from wood burl. Crafted in copper enamels.

The process includes vitreous enamel (which is pulverized glass) applied by hand, using a delicate sprinkling method, layer upon layer, over solid copper. Fired by the intense heat of kilns, the enamels flow and combine. Emerging from the kiln molten ruby-red, then cooling to reveal both vibrant and subtle hues of color. This process may be repeated several times before the desired effect is achieved.
