Ornamental Elements

The Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show is always a great resource for post material.  Lisa Crowder’s enamel pieces are “kiln-fired vitreous enamel on copper stitched with thread — set in oxidized sterling silver. Pieces are completely hand fabricated — hand stitched. The copper is drilled prior to enameling. Multiple layers of enamel are then fired on both sides — then etched to create a matte finish. Once this is completed the piece is stitched — set in sterling.”
