Description
Enamelled copper swan wall hanging, based on a Bewick’s Swan. Mounted in a wood-effect frame with watercolour blue background.
The swan is a creamy white, ivory colour, with black and yellow beak/bill. The white has a dark outer edge and tiny dark dots in it. The frame is 25cm by 30cm and a pale oak colour.
I made the swan by cutting a swan shape out of sheet copper and enamelling it with ivory vitreous enamel. The beak/bill colours were added on the last firing. 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 swan 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 swan will not change.
