...a mostly successful photo of this piece! its still kinda dark... Jenn, i need your help with these things.
so this piece is dealing with those passages ideas i was talking about a few weeks ago. two entrances: one leading to darkness, one leading... up. this is an enamel pendant, so the color you see on this piece is layer after layer of sifted glass enamel (which is a powder of ground glass) so, white, with orange, then the black is painted enamel on top of that which is basically a mixture of the powdered glass and a solvent that i paint with. So, its all enamel. The enamel bakes onto copper in a kiln at 1475 degrees F, one layer at a time.
comments/critique welcome!

so, i made some awesome enamels. the sad news is, its too dark out to properly photograph them. i keep getting blurry too shiny images. i'll have to photo them tomorrow in the natural light.

sorry for the lack of updates... just landed in Miami today, and i'll be here for about 5 days... and i forgot the plug for my camera to hook into my computer. rest assured, i'll have a collection of scans for when i return, but till then, it'll be all crickets on this end. see you next week!
