“ Pensive Melody “

"These two words make me think of sounds that are beautiful and and rather haunting. Aside from a cello, I reverted to the life and music of our wildlife. I hoped this little scene would put you there, at dusk, as the big moon begins her ascent and the evening songs begin.

Enameling the geese and owl on chased silver was a bit challenging. Making the little swoop from odds and ends I had was a day! Getting the color of the moon just right was a repeated process… it seemed fitting to enamel the back in a mirrored image of the front. My biggest lesson was enameling the sculpted geese."
