Copper Enamel Ornament, Autumn Night

Description

A small work of art to accent any space, this ornament features an abstract design evoking an autumn night. I made it by hand from reclaimed roofing copper and fired glass enamel colors onto them in a kiln at 1500-1600 degrees Fahrenheit. I developed the design by firing thin layers of glass multiple times  so that the colors interact with each other, while the copper shines through the transparent background. The ornament is about 3 1/2 x 3 inches and hangs from a satin ribbon. This work of art is one of a kind. Made of glass and metal, it can be displayed indoors or outdoors in a sheltered location, free from impacts.
