When I started enameling I was experimenting with shapes. Mostly forming shapes with a die cutter which is a tool that is the same idea as a hole punch - except you use a hammer! I wasn’t trying to create matching pairs of shapes but pairs that were almost the same. Then I applied the same color enamels to make pairs and fired them in a kiln. You will notice that some of the earring have raised strings and dots of color which are threads of glass that melt in the firing. These are earrings for a fun day or when you just don’t want to take it all too seriously.
