Welcome to my shop of unique, handmade, glass enamelled jewellery and ornaments.
POSTAGE My prices include postage by Royal Mail, first-class, signed for.
Where possible I recycle packaging.
I am happy to consider special requests and commissions. Contact me through folksy.
If you experience any difficulty in placing an order please let me know.
The majority of my work involves using the malleability of the glass enamel to decorate the copper blanks I use. The results are wholly unpredictable. Sooner or later the enamel will cool to a point at which I can no longer manipulate it, leaving me with a pattern of swirls and textures determined by the material. The butterfly shape lends itself particularly to this technique. The final result is a compromise between my aspirations and the impracticability of reworking the piece. Few pieces are lost entirely. There are many more possibilities lurking in the kiln.

Full description
After building up several layers of clear enamel on the copper shape, I have added a layer of yellow. After firing that I have added rods of blue-green red, and brown enamel and drawn through them when the piece was at red hot, in the kiln.
The butterfly measures 48mm from tip to tip of its upper wings, 28mm from the tip of the upper wings to the tip of the lower pair. I have soldered a 26mm brooch bar to the reverse of the butterfly. The brooch pin secures with a rotating catch.
Your butterfly will be sent, boxed as shown, by Royal Mail first class, tracked, at no extra cost.
Designed by Francis Hayes in Middesbrough, North Yorkshire
