More experimenting with new enamels on some sort of brooch type thing!
I like to call this a "Pocket Brooch" or for my nerdier side a "Pocket Protector Brooch." Designed to slip into a pocket.
This is opalescent chartreuse enamel, torch-fired over plain copper. Quickly becoming one of my favorite enamels!
