Description
Walking in the woods with my dog is one of the more peaceful times, soaking in nature and its healing powers. This nature inspired, hand painted fine silver leaf pendant began as an actual leaf I found on a trip to Quebec in Canada. It is a true Canadian maple leaf (see process below). A great every day piece and would make a nice gift for that nature lover friend or possible Canadian Maple Leaf hockey fan!
No two pendants are the same. Each is unique because they are created from a real leaf found on my journeys.
LEAF PROCESS:
Organic objects such as leaves often make the most unique and stunning patterns. Intricate and realistic detailing of leaves can only be achieved through a process that is very much a labor of love. After finding a gorgeous leaf that has fallen off the tree, I bring it home and paint about fifteen layers of precious metal clay slip onto the leaf. I then fire it in the kiln to produce a gorgeous, nature-inspired fine silver (.999) leaf that can be cherished forever.
