Lucy utilizes the champleve and cloisonné methods. Champleve is the art of creating an imprint on the base metal. Cloisonné is the process of taking wire, creating cells and filling the cells with enamel. With these two techniques and the endless types of transparent enamels, she produces a brilliant surface with depths of techniques that intrigue the eye.

Enameling is an ancient technique that dates back to the 13th century BC. The basic concept of the process is heating powdered glass onto metal in a kiln at 1400-1500°F. The high heat melts the glass powder, fusing it to the metal, making it a highly polished piece of artwork. Most of the beauty from transparent and opaque enamels cannot be obtained on the first try, but over several firings. Finessing and revising techniques makes this finicky media satisfying and alluring in its final form.
