Carly's unique one-of-a-kind pieces are
fabricated in the same manner as the limited production pieces,
but these pins, unlike the production pieces, are fired upwards
of thirty separate times in the enameling kiln.
Often, to increase the luminosity and
brilliance of the enameled colors, gold foil will be placed underneath
the enamel powder before it is fired, creating a sense of depth
and vibrance in the finished pin. In a few of these pieces you will
also note the addition of 14k gold onto the piece.
The one-of-a-kind pieces are inspired by the fractured and sedimentary
layers of rock cliffs, and glacially produced marks on the rocks.
Loosely rendered drawings of such in colored pencil eventually translate
into pieces like these.
The subtlety of these pieces attracts
viewers to further investigate each plane of silver, each line representing
a crack found in rocks and cliffs, and the many layered blocks of
brilliant enameled color.
