the artist applies a cold finish using acrylic paints

and a vintage plastic rose completes the mixed-media piece

which is hot enough to melt the pieces together while retaining the texture of the individual elements

These earrings feature botanical embellishments on the sterling silver that elevate the sleek design

Open P07873-P00123 the artist applies a coldThis bronze sculpture was cast using a modified lost wax process called ice casting. This work celebrates the opening of our hearts to give and receive love and the flower opening above it accents this premise. The patina is a mixture of ferric nitrate applied hot and contemporary metal stains applied cold. The base is walnut which is stained a cherry red to match the heart. One of a kind piece Signed by the artist Materials: Bronze
