I am still planning to write about the workshop I recently attended... but in the meantime, a bit of a tangent...
My copy of Glass on Metal magazine arrived today, and, well... wow. One of the featured enamelists is Ewa Buksa Klinowska of Poland.
Some scans from Glass on Metal:
According to her article, she is currently working on mastering portrait miniature painting.
She also has done very different pieces using other enameling techniques. Even though the style is very different than the realism of her miniatures, I love her abstract pieces too.
This one is from the book 500 Emameled Objects
This photo is from this site, but it can also be found in the Glass on Metal issue and the book as well. Not sure how well it shows here, but this technique is called plique a jour (light of day). There is no backing, so light can come through the glass.
From an article in the Polish newspaper Gazeta.pl Łódź about how the following piece won an award in the International Cloisonné Jewelry Contest held every year in Japan.
One more, from another Polish newspaper article about an exhibit she was in.
I think her work (that I have seen so far) has a delicacy that really appeals to me. Did you notice the wisp of hair across the little girls face in the first image?
Beautiful stuff.
