“ Oasis Symphony “

My theme was Oasis Symphony. To me an oasis is a place of safety and calm where you can shelter from the storm. Storms themselves are a symphony created by nature. The sound of thunder, lightning, and rain is a beautiful song. With that in mind I've created a peaceful pond surrounded by cattails in the center of a thunderstorm.

I had a lot of fun learning new techniques for this project. It was my first time creating irregular shapes using the jewelers saw, the first time doing champleve, and my first time using opaque enamels.
