Description

Enamelled Copper Doodle Somewhere Near Stamford 03

Inspired by the fields & hedgerows we see during “Ws” with Mr Taj & Miss Manali.

Somewhere Near Stamford 03 is my attempt to capture the fields, hedgerows and scenes we come across during walks with our dogs.

We walk our dogs Taj and Manali in fields near Stamford, the town where I live. The hedgerows we see in the fields are beautiful and colourful and keep changing colours throughout the year.

The “Somewhere near Stamford” series captures my impressions of these colours and scenes using copper sheet, enamel powder and glass beads.

This scene on copper has been mounted on a piece of recycled pallet wood by my husband Dave.

Update April 2021

Repair, Refurbish, Enhance, Improve.

All part if the continued learning process…

Original piece: Originally this tile was mounted on a simple piece of polished pallet wood.

Since first completing this project both Dave and I have learnt a lot more about enamelling and wood work.

I re-fired the tile in my kiln with a few more additions.

And Dave learnt all about Shou Sugi Ban, an ancient Japanese method of preserving wood during the first Covid 19 Lockdown in 2020.

The pallet wood mount has been made using this technique.The wood is burnt using a blow torch. I dyed it using a black water based dye because I think the black background makes the colours really stand out.

Dave works with wood, wire and rocks. Some of his work is listed in my online shop here.
