Heart's Blood CopperSilver and Enamel Pendant

A heart shaped copper pendant with silver fused to it's surface and red enamel added afterwards. The pendant hangs from a fine, red cotton cord which is adjustable for length. The pendant itself measures 5cm at it's longest and 3cm at it's widest. The enamel is quite thick and uneven, because it is fired on a surface that is not flat to begin with. A unique piece of jewellery, when the melted silver is put into an enamelling kiln it produces granulation effect, tiny balls of silver on the surface, a sphere is the easiest shape for a material to form when melted. Lots of other colours appear among the red and silver, the copper surface produces, greens and some blues from copper oxidising and reacting to heat. The method used to produce these pendants is quite unpredictable, the silver melts as it will and I don't really have much control over it, I quite like these random results.
