Handmade Enameled Copper Earrings ~~ Flame Orange and red accents ~ Sterling Silver earwire
Flame Orange Handmade Enameled Copper Earrings, Made in The Fussy Pup Workshop. Seymour Indiana, USA
Earrings are 1.5 inches (3.5 cm) long ~ total drop is 2 inches (4.5 cm)
Each Enameled Copper Disk is 1.5" X 1" (2.5 X 3.5 cm)
Each Earring weighs 3.5 grams, 1/8 ounce
I cut copper disks one at a time and cold forge them into oblong shapes.
Each disk is then coated and torch fired one at a time in multiple coats of glass enamel front and back. The front is finished with a hard clear coat.
The edges are then sanded to expose the bright copper underneath; sanded yet again for a completely smooth finish.
The enameling begins with two base coats of Flame Orange followed by a dusting of Flame Red accents. The Earrings finished with a hard clear coat.
These earrings are one of a kind, no other earrings I make will be exactly the same. I love the subtle contrast of the Orange and Red Colors.
