I have decorated this brooch with a scrolled technique. Enamels are particularly adapted to this technique.
After building up a solid base of several layers of either white or clear enamel I add a single layer of coloured enamel. After firing that I add other colours randomly, either by scattering small heaps of enamel powder on the base or by setting sections of enamel rod on it. When the piece reaches red heat in the kiln I draw through the surface with a steel point to disturb the colours and draw them into a pattern. This is not a controlled activity in the sense that the colours move in ways i can predict and arrange; I get what the material allows.
Each pattern is unique.

Full description
This butterfly measures 32mm at its widest by 22mm at its deepest. It ismounted on a 20mm brooch bar, soldered to the copper base.
I have laid turquoise enamel over a base layer of clear enamel built up on the copper base. In some lights the copper base shows through the turquoise in tones of golden brown. I have then added scatterings of whiteand dark-pink enamel through which I have drawn a steel tip while the shape was red hot, to create the swirled pattern on the butterfly.
