Hi enamel friends,
I had a deadline for our local enamel guild show, so I decided to quick make something that I could use for both. My poet, Hafizah Geter, was raised in Zaria, Nigeria.
Her poetry is about the oppression of her people in Africa as well as in the US, where she has lived as well. I am terrible with creating imagery in the drawing sense, and I had no idea about how to create an image based on her poems that was not very cheesy. However, I am drawn to bold colors and shapes. I found a photo of a palace gate from Zaria that I was immediately drawn to. I used a little section within that gate as inspiration, as well as the quality of the colors.
I am miffed that my wire didn't end up perfectly symmetrical, but I'm trying to get over it
