Oval enamelled flower design brooch with gold accents. This brooch is created using stencils to apply powdered enamel which is fired in a kiln. It may go into the kiln six or seven times and the last thing that is added is some pure gold foil to lift the design.

Do not drop on hard surfaces as being glass the enamel can chip.
Plants and flowers have always been one of my main inspirations and here I have been looking at flower prints on fabrics and wallpapers. I like the repetitive pattern but also the slightly random nature as if the flowers have just been scattered. I hand cut stencils through which I sift powdered enamel and the piece is carefully fired in the kiln. Each layer has to be fired so it may go in the kiln 6 or 7 times. Lastly I add some pure gold foil to make the design special and unique.
