Copper Enamel Ornament, Galactic Rose

Description

A small work of art to brighten any space, this ornament features a galactic spiral design in shades of rose pink. 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. The copper shines underneath the transparent background while the pink and rose glasses swirl outward from the center.The ornament is about 3 1/2 x3 1/4  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.
