“ Exuberant Phoenix “

"My Exuberant Phoenix was sculpted in epoxy putty and then molded with silicone putty. I pressed copper PMC into the mold and fired it and then enameled it. Then it was riveted to a fine silver cloisonné that has multicolored enamel flames. Then it was riveted to a sterling setting.

Lately I’ve been obsessed with making modern heraldry, using these techniques.

I was challenged by so many moving parts! Plus enameling on PMC copper was difficult. Mainly I learned to emphasize the featured element by making the background less busy than I’d originally envisioned"
