Hand formed cups or flowers of copper. Then enamel is added and fired. The color is first sated with a beige/Tan then several shades of greens are used to produce this color blend. Each cup is assembled with a tiny Grossular Garnet in my favorite mossy tone. I made the cups/flowers out of a thinner gauge copper so they are still lightweight. They are assembled using sterling silver which has been oxidized for a better contrast with the enamel.

Total Length: 1-7/8

Largest cup: 1/2

Smaller cup 3/8

Enameling is fusing glass to metal, in this case copper. Each piece is fired multiple times including the back to 1500 degrees.
