CHARMS!
Porcelain pendants and charms are created using the exact same process as my large porcelain works - on a teeny tiny scale! They are adorned with 22k gold. Resin cutout charms will be launched June 2025 and are made with itty bitty photo cutouts encased in a bubble of crystal clear, glass shiny resin. Both types of charms are finished with 18k solid or gold-filled jewelry findings (jump rings, clasps, bails) and chains. Sterling silver findings and chains are available upon request for porcelain charms and an option at checkout for most resin charms. All are hand-made in my studio with meticulous and loving attention to detail. New styles are released 1-2x per month.
PAINTINGS & PRINTS
I am so pleased to finally offer you original oil paintings and select giclee prints beginning June 2025. Giclee prints are gallery-quality, printed copies of original paintings, created using a specialized inkjet printing process with exceptional color accuracy, detail, and longevity. My prints are created on 100% cotton, heavy-weight, acid-free paper. Prints are delivered safely and securely via 2-3 day priority mail. Follow me on Instagram @florentinalooper or subscribe to my newsletters for updates on upcoming originals.
PORCELAIN ILLUSTRATION & PAINTING PROCESS
After the first kiln firing (air-dried porcelain is fired to half it's full firing temperature to strengthen before painting), illustrations are sketched directly on porcelain surface with graphite pencil. Ceramic underglaze paint is applied (with brushes just like canvas painting), which transform to a glass-shiny, 100% food safe coating during the second kiln firing (2300 degree Fahrenheit). The third and final kiln-firing permanently fuses 22k gold luster (yes, real gold! yes, it comes in liquid form which is also applied with paint brushes!) to the glaze resulting in gilded, sparkling, 100% food safe artwork that also holds delicious lattes and tea!
