Description
Enamelled copper sitting black labrador or retriever (or silhouette), mounted in a wood-effect frame with watercolour background.
The dog is black on a background that’s a water colour gradient with darker pink nearer the bottom, fading upwards. The frame is 25cm by 30cm and a pale oak colour.
I made the dog by cutting a sitting labrador/retriever shape out of sheet copper and enamelling it with black vitreous enamel. I also did the watercolour background.
The frame does not have a glass front. I removed it, partly to be able to see the enamel work properly, but also because during enamelling the dog sagged a little on the stand used to hold it, so it isn’t flat. I like the slightly 3D effect so I allow it to happen. Without the glass, the watercolour may fade, but the dog will not change.
To help to see the labrador retriever silhouette picture better, I’ve created this short video –
The video is on YouTube because it’s free and doesn’t add too much data to my website. If you watch the video on YouTube you can get it with subtitles. I’m afraid I can’t work out how to get it to show the subtitles on the link! If you’d like to see other product demo short videos I’ve done, my YouTube channel is @Eleanor_Rogerson (https://www.youtube.com/@Eleanor_Rogerson).
