Kickglass Enamels. Enameled copper handmade art
Announcement
I have temporarily extended my shipping times while I am traveling. This is just for a few days, and I am still open for business.
My artwork is handmade, designed and hand crafted by me in a home studio in the USA.
Jewelry, bolo ties, wall art, trinket plates, all are opportunities to bring art into everyday life. Whether adorning yourself or your surroundings, glass enamels are a beautiful, timeless way to add a touch of art to your daily world.
I've temporarily added a vintage section for items from my parents' estate. I'm not becoming a vintage dealer. Enamels are gorgeous, and this is still what I do.

5 out of 5 starsI chose this for my daughter’s 18th birthday because she had wanted a chai that was cool and not too “girly.” She loves it!!

5 out of 5 starsWhat an incredible seller and artist. I messaged the seller asking if there was any way to upgrade the shipping to arrive a little earlier than the guesstimation provided by Etsy. The seller was super quick to respond in the affirmative with a write up describing all of the options available, including selecting a different tie to speed up the process by a whole day. Ordered on Monday and it arrived on Wednesday. I had a tie I was planning on wearing to my event already, but saw these and fell in love. So glad I spent a little extra money to support a great artist who has makes great art. S+ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
About kickglassenamels

Powdered glass is sifted and fired in separate layers. Here, I'm sifting a final layer of clear over a fern design. -
The piece is put into the kiln using a firing fork because of the high temperature, over 1500˚F. -
After the piece cools, I'll enamel the back, and the piece will be ready to sell. -
I enjoy experimenting. This is copper flashing crumpled, run through a roll mill to flatten it, and then enameled. -
While nature is my biggest inspiration, I also like fun whimsy like UFOs and dragons.

I studied metal working at the art school at ECU, and did the craft show and gallery circuit for many years. After a hiatus during which I was a pastry chef, I've returned to the art I love with new designs and ideas.
