In Search of Shape

My work for the last few years has all been circular. Not that there is anything wrong with that…

But my friends Marina, Addison and Bill advised me to look at some other options. So, after seeing a great brooch Bill welded, I decided on this:

skull1

Kinda goth, but might be interesting made in prissy pretty enamel. So, I started with the outline. One idea is to abstract the shape, and the other is more literal.

skull2

And fill in with some wire linework, to hold the color.

skull3

Filling with enamel and firing.

skull4

I love my new color palette strategy, it really works great.

skull5

 

I am not sure which shape I like best.

skull6

Macabre is always classic.

skull7skull8

By the way, I have started to compile my notes from the blog on granulation in a more readable form here, if this is something you are interested in.
