Cool Texture...

I really didn't set out to find all this, but when nature knocks... you just have to gather.  Wonder if only I could see the potential here?  These leaves will make some really nice imprints on my metal.  I see some really nice shapes and the smaller size leaves are great for the smaller pieces.  This will be coming to some metal in the near future.  I just ordered some fine silver and the ideas are clicking away.  I will be making some more bracelets and pendants soon.  Can't wait to get back in the studio!

About Me

My photo
I enjoy silversmithing, making jewelry, beads and working with paracord. I sculpt in polymer clay and desert themes are my favorite. I'm always looking for ways to incorporate the beauty of nature into my work. My work has been published in a large book called "1000 Beads," Lark Jewelry and Beading, 2014. I have sold beads through the Glendale Bead Museum Shop, a gallery in Tucson and www.wearartbyjulie.etsy.com. I'm an artist currently showing my jewelry at the Shemer Art Center in Phoenix, AZ.
