On the Bench

I milled some oak leaves on a lighter gauge of metal for this project.  Currently working on sawing out several leaves.  These need filing, sanding, shaping and so on...  There are various steps to finishing these to make them look more like real leaves.  The impressions are on both the front and the back of the pieces.  The real natural leaves may not fully align, but you will see detail on both sides.

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.
