I hand-cut each heart out of 24 gauge copper sheet metal. I then smoothed the edges and added several layers (5-8) of colored enamels. This heart set is mottled aqua green, pink, and deep purple.
Enamels are fine glass powder that I coat on each heart – both sides – and then melt the glass in my propane-oxygen torch. This fuses the glass to the metal.
