Inkblot 4 Brights Hyacinth purple Japanese transparent enamelI created the original inkblot print on paper and then translated it to metal. A pattern was created and hand cut into the metal. 3 layers of vitreous enamel (glass) were layered one at a time onto the surface and fired onto the metal. A hand painted graphite surface was finally applied to mimic the texture that the wet paint being pulled from its mirror image created. These move beautifully! Edgy, arty, dramatic. A big statement for any occasion! 3 1
