Big Color

I managed to do a bit of enamel work this morning, man oh man, it felt good.  I’m keen on big color lately.  We’ve had a couple weeks of warm weather here and when I look out the studio window the world is awash with drab colors and a pale grey sky.  In the distance, the mountains loom white but they can’t pull me out of moods that are sometimes rooted in color desperation.  Someone please, pour this chromaphile a rainbow.

When times get color rough, I make my own color.
Big color.

These earrings are really rather huge but they maintain a pretty light feel on the lobe.  They’re enameled a glorious nasturtium orange hue and have a glamorous weight and length.  I created them for a lady who beckons spring, bathes her soul in color, and eagerly awaits the banishment of the winter hum drum drabs!

Built of sterling, copper and enamel.
Hydraulically formed, hand sawed and sifted, counter enameled and fired multiple times.
They’ll be in the shop in a few scant minutes!

PS  Orange makes me bonkers batty cakes.  
Is anyone else affected thusly by the hue?
