Florid Victorian Ornament Fixation

For this series of pieces I continued my study of moray eels and birds of pray and combined those ideas with my interest in Victorian mourning jewelry and florid motifs of the that time period. All of the pieces have chased copper frames that I sugar fired with steel gray enamel. For the two brooches I continued playing with marriage-of-metals, after I finished soldering and filing I etched the plates so that all of the copper, brass, and nickel are recessed.
