'Three Flowers' Enamel Pendant in blues and greens
'Three Flowers' enamel pendant is spectacular with its hand drawn flowers painted on the bluish landscape. This is a smaller version of another pendant that I did. These flowers sport blue centers that will draw you in.
The focal measures 2" in L and 3/4" W. The chain is a 18" Silver cable chain, simple yet setting the piece off beautifully.
Hand painting on enamels is very different from normal painting, it takes some skill to get it mastered and a lot of trial and error. This piece came out beautiful and I am very happy with it.
I love working with enamels! Some people say it is a flashback to the sixties. I was too young then to experience that and fell in love with them just recently. All my enamels are kiln fired. This is a process of melting glass onto the metal and it takes a minimum of three to four firings up to 20 firings of each piece to achieve the color layers. Before you even start with that, there is the cutting of the shapes, the sanding of the metal and then the cleaning of the metal, all before you start with to add the color. It is a time intensive process.
Created in my Appalachian Studio in the heart of WV. Each piece is handcrafted to the perfection of the artist's eye,made by International Jewelry Designer Christine Keller of Chrizart Creations. It is made with all the love and good energy I can possibly put into a piece.
