Hammer Copper Spiral Sun on an Enamel Background Pendant Necklace

Two weeks ago I created this piece. It is a hand sawn, hand hammered, saw pierced, copper sun attached to a disc by melting the sea green enamel to such a temperature that the copper sun sinks into the melted enamel. More images and this description can be viewed at: http://www.restringit.etsy.com

Enamel is the background for this hand hammered copper spiral sun pendant. A hammered copper spiral sun rests on an enameled disc that measures 1 1/4" in diameter. The enameled pendant hangs from an 18" black cord. The background for the spiral sun is greenish blue. The reverse side of the disc has been counter enameled with the same greenish blue color.

Hot Saw Pierced Copper Enamel Ivy Leaf Pendant

It's hot in Tucson, really hot, 106 degrees. This is the time of year that our "cabin fever" sets in. It's really not that bad if you stay indoors. You feel the heat as you exit a building and until the AC in your car cools things off, but it's all very tolerable. However, outdoor activities are not only extremely unpleasant, but unsafe.

Today I saw pierced a 1 3/4" copper ivy leaf with veins and enameled it with peppermint green enamel. I love it! Just need to add a chain or cord and will be listing it soon in my Etsy shop, http://www.restringit.etsy.com/. Both side have been enameled with the same peppermint color enamel and the pendant can be worn either concavely or convexly.
