NEW WORK

Riveted, enameled hearts.


I've been playing with enamels a lot lately and have been trying to find a cute way to combine them with silver. Since I love riveting and the look of riveting, so I decided to make silver overlays that are, you guessed it, riveted onto enameled copper. I didn't show a side view, but there are spacers between the silver and the enamel which adds a bit of height and dimension. I like them, they're cute and whimsical, but also kind of pointy and tough. This particular pair was for my friend Cindi's birthday yesterday (Happy Birthday, Cindi!) but I will have others in this and lots of different colors soon for my fall shows and my Etsy store.
