~July Art Bead Scene Challenge

Tiger in a Tropical Storm by Henri Rousseau was the inspiration for July. 

I liked the colors and did my best to grab some of them and create a
lovely torch enameled pendant on recycled copper.
Dangles by RaggedRobyn compliment the look with colors also found in the painting.
Just a perfect pairing! 

The complete listing can be found in my shop which is 75% off this month as is darlicioushouse. Use the coupon code gottago at check out in either shop.
As school starts up with new roles and responsibilities, I am liquidating as I simply do not have time to create, maintain shops or do shows.
My focus will be a few items here and there and then donating to silent auctions. xoxo
Enjoy your day!

~New Decals

I found some time, as I awaited a needed document for my dossier, to return to torch enameling decals onto my recycled copper.

I had given up on the decals as over the winter the enameling was popping off when I slowly returned to the second firing of the piece. I was so upset and discouraged that I stopped trying.

But then, I realized it was thermal shock as my torching area is in an enclosed back porch with no heat, so even though the sun would warm it up some, it was just too cold despite the space heater.

Now that we have 90 degree heat, I decided to give it another go.

Woot! Success.

So I will be doing the decal dance again and selling them through my enameling shop. You can also find some finished pieces here as well.

~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!
