Edy started as a glass worker but soon began using the enamels to create fun, colorful jewelry. The enamel is sifted onto copper or fine silver, then torch fired to fuse the glass and the metal underneath. She often adds graphite, fine silver and texture to the surface. Unique shapes are cut out by hand.
