It's Botanicals Week!
Now, a lot of the jewellery I make has a botanical theme, but this is the first time I've made a silver leaf. Layers of silver clay paste are painted onto a real leaf and once fired, the intricate vein patterns captured in silver.
The other challenge for the week was to make a piece using a botanical mold. I've used sycamore seeds here. They're both still greenware and will need refining before the magic happens, and I turn them to silver✨️
