~bugs, bikes and botanicals

torch enameled yumminess on recycled copper. we found some old copper cornice pieces at the junk yard and i was able to clean em up and create! most of these pices can be found in my etsy shop.

 most are torch fired decals over botanical impressions and one is even a comet cleaner cap!

as i enter the last few months of my masters's program, i am taking the time off from creating and writing, writing, writing in a formal apa format which i'm not paying attention to that here! lol
no formatting but someday, maybe i'll grow up!

~Stardust: A David Bowie Tribute Blog Hop

I was inspired by this pic of Bowie for this blog hop. 

Recycled copper enameled with EXIT since he did, didn't he? 
All shiny bright in the sky now.
Here's how it came about:

I started with recycled copper flashing

 Cut it all wonky and pounded it. Washed it up after that.

 I counter enameled it in translucent blue.

 Made a stencil and torch enameled the front in black and white.

I then added my own chain of vintage glass beads and accents with strands of crystals cascading from reclaimed silver toned chain.

Hangs just above the belly button. Very chic.
