Carnations - Neckpiece I

Dimensions: Chain length 17.5 Inches, Pendant width: 63 mm Height: 45mm

Artist Statement: The Yukata fabric I choose inspired me to try something new. I have been thinking about using enamel in in my pieces for some time, to add color. This fabric with its luscious blue and other bright colors was the perfect excuse to make something new and totally different from my usual work. I was experimenting and playing until I started to like the results. It was a fun experience and I am quite happy with my new creations. My hope is that others will like and enjoy them as much as I enjoyed making them.
