Ziggy is my studio pal. Yes it's a mess.

What I make is really about playing with color. I make the wire pattern that I fuse to the pure silver shape first at 1500 F. It's freehand doodling in pure gold ribbon wire. Then I stare a lot and ponder what colors to play with in the design I've created. I like color, movement, and flow. Like small watercolor paintings.There isn't any eraser so I must commit to the end result in the first of 15-20 firings. For some colors the first few firings are clear because the metal oxides in the glazes that create the color react to different temperatures and time within a range. Pink can become orange at a different firing temperature. So I can't switch the end goal in the middle. For inspiration I play with my collection of unique gemstones. I see if they play well with each other.
Since everything is a freehand shape I make each individual setting after the enamel is finished and ready to set with the stones that inspired me. I use traditional fabrication techniques with 22Kt & 14Kt gold and Argentium silver with a propane/oxygen torch. Set it, polish it and then it's a wearable little painting world of color.

I start with sheet metal and 24kt gold wire I roll myself. Then I make the little worlds in cloisonne set with stones in high karat gold and silver. Everything I've posted here before today has been sold. I will be at Long's Park, Lancaster PA August 30th-Sept.1st. A Fair in the Park, Mellon Park, Pittsburgh PA September 6th-8th. Plaza Art Fair, Kansas City September 20-21st. Everything I have done will be there at that time. I've been busy!

Tomorrow I'm going to gird my loins one last time and try to merge my pages. Judy Goskey Cloisonne and Judy Goskey cloisonne. Wish me luck! That dang lower case c. Oh well, such it is.
I don't want to lose my lower case c friends which were my first! So it might all become an upper case C page. Please be patient after years as I try to get current and I guess be nimble and quick.

Basically I don't know what I'm doing. I have 2 pages Judy Goskey cloisonne and Judy Goskey Cloisonne that I have tried to merge many times unsuccessfully. My Instagram is linked to Judy Goskey Cloisonne which forces me to post there. Sorry. Nothing earth shattering but I'm done trying to merge the 2 pages. I am not good at this stuff. Go to Judy Goskey Cloisonne in future.
