Orient Hair Clip 7.27.11

This is an enameled piece of copper and will be used as a hair pin. After sawing out the copper I used a layer of dark teal, followed by a mix of yellows and oranges, and topped with "Oriental Red". I then sanded down particular zones so that the colors below would show through. For the pin I just added the layers, but did not file down. In the end, I preferred the filing because it created some interesting blends and shapes within the enamel. A good little experiment.
